YM-YWHA - Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association - Jewish community organization in various countries that provides a wide range of cultural, educational, recreational, and social activities for all age groups in Jewish communities. The goals of the YM–YWHA are to prepare the young for participation in a democratic society, to ensure Judaism’s role as a positive element in community life, and to further the cultural unity of the Jewish community.
Jewish community centres originated in the Jewish young men’s literary societies that were formed in U.S. cities in the 1840s. The first organization to be called the Young Men’s Hebrew Association was established in Baltimore, Md., in 1854. The first women’s organization (YWHA) began as an auxiliary of the New York YMHA in the 1880s, with the first independent YWHA being established in 1902. These men’s and women’s organizations eventually merged into single entities.
