While having a party to raise money for a good cause is fun, a party isn't always what Seattle's young Jews are looking for when it comes to giving back to the Jewish community. For the first time ever, Young Leadership hosted a completely virtual Main Event. Past years have seen fancy, black-tie, sit-down dinners, and elaborate poker tournaments. This year, all of the finery was replaced with words from the heart asking Jewish young adults across Seattle to give what they can to support our partner agencies.

Being Jewish means something different to everyone. That's the idea behind a newly launched social media campaign called, "What's Your #Ish?" The basic gist is to learn and share how Jews define their Jewish identity and culture.

Whatever being Jewish means to you is your #ish. We invite you to post an "#ish" through Facebook or Twitter and using the "#ish" and "@yldseattle" in your post or tweet. For every #ish that is posted, 25 cents will be donated to the #ish fund at the Jewish Federations of North America.
