Greetings Jewish Young Adults of Seattle!

The New Year means new beginnings, fresh starts, and many opportunities for you to get involved in the Seattle Jewish community!

Kehilah, community, has always been a core value of the Jewish people. Whether it is to play or pray, or commemorate the oys and joys of life, the Jewish people have always come together to support one another. Being a part of the Jewish community is an important part of your Jewish identity--but in such a big city, finding the right place for you is sometimes difficult. This e-newsletter should make things much easier. You are sure to find something that will interest you.
