The Young Men's Hebrew Association was established as a community center in 1902 and today is known as the Gordon Jewish Community Center. The JCC has a place in the history of Civil Rights in Nashville. On March 16, 1958, a bomb went off at the JCC building, then on West End Avenue. It was believed to have been set in reaction to the active support for the Civil Rights movement by some members of the Nashville Jewish Community.
The Akiva School, a day school for the Jewish Community, was founded in 1954.
Other Jewish communal organizations include the Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee and Jewish Family Services. There are also Nashville chapters of national Jewish organizations, including Hadassah, the National Council of Jewish Women and B'nai B'rith.
The Jewish community is also involved with Hillel, an organization for Jewish students at Vanderbilt University.
