We are a social and cultural organization whose focus is to help foster and maintain the cultures of Gods Own Country in New Jersey. Steeped in tradition Kerala has an abundance of culture including classical arts. With no religious affiliations KSNJ strives to strengthen the MalayaleeAmerican community while preserving our cultures and traditions for future generations. Recognizing the need for an organization under which the Malayalees residing in New Jersey could come together under the umbrella of Federation of Malayalee Associations of Americas FOMAA for Cultural and social enrichment a nonprofit charitable organization called The Kerala Samajam of New Jersey is established.
