This year, Latkepalooza took over the entire Triple Door, with over 450 people in attendance! Jconnect and YLD partnered in their second year of community building and, together, we lowered the cost by HALF and raised thousands of dollars for the Jewish Federation’s afterschool programs for in-need kids in Kiryat Malachi, Israel. Thank you to our friends at the Triple Door, DJ Piha and to Jconnect!

How often do Jews in their 80s mingle with those in their 30s?
Well, Sunday, January 24 was the kick-off of MenschWorks where 25 young adults played games and did art projects with Summit residents. They also got a tour of the facility, fulfilling the programs’ dual-purpose of community service and learning about the community. Join Menschworks at our next event on February 21 as we help AJC get ready for its big Seattle Jewish Film Festival.
Over recent years, more young adults from Seattle than ever before have applied for free, life-changing Birthright Israel programs, with less space available. This year, to help meet the demand, the Jewish Federation and Birthright Israel partnered locally to change that equation. Thanks to parents of former Seattle Birthright Israel participants, we are excited to announce that we have ensured that an entire additional busload of young Seattleites will experience Birthright Israel this summer. Registration is February 17-March 3.
Are you a Jewish young adult looking to volunteer your time, meet other Jewish young adults and give back to the community? Join the Jewish Federation's Young Leadership Division for Project #2 of our annual MenschWorks volunteer service program.
