Partners in Haiti Relief Making Progress: Need Still Great

The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle is partnering with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) to direct and provide aid to Haiti after the devastating earthquake. Our hearts go out to all who have lost a loved one and who are in dire need of medical, food, emotional and other ongoing support.

We urge you to donate to the JDC Haiti Relief Fund. Recent federal legislation allows you to take any Haiti donations as a 2009 tax deduction if you wish.

For days, the only operating room in Haiti was that of the Israeli Field Hospital. Read more.

Our State Budget Presents a Huge Challenge

In a short, sixty day session, anything is possible. But erasing the need for drastic cuts to health and human services may very well be a lost cause.

So much is at stake for low-income people and community agencies like Jewish Family Service and the Kline Galland. Lend your voice to solutions to keep our Jewish community, and Washington State, safe and strong. Join the Washington State Jewish Action Center to stay up-to-date and take action on legislative and policy happenings in Olympia, WA and Washington, DC.

The 2010 legislative session presents challenges for the Jewish community and our legislative priorities. To balance Washington’s budget and erase an almost $3.0 billion deficit, Governor Chris Gregoire’s proposed budget made deep cuts into critical programs

Cardozo Society CLE

February 23, 2010 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM

This CLE is titled Straddling the Gap: Where Jewish Ethics and Lawyer Ethics Diverge. In most areas of ethics, Jewish law and Washington law dictate nearly identical rules for the professional conduct of lawyers. This presentation will explore the rare areas where true conflicts of law exist, from breaching the duty of confidentiality to "double-billing" a client.

The presenter is Etan Basseri, an associate at the Law Office of Evan L. Loeffler and a member of the WSBA Rules of Professional Conduct Committee since 2008.
