Letter from the CEO: Choosing Hope
Share your voice and build a safer community in Washington State.
Share your voice and build a safer community in Washington State.
Keeping our Jewish community safe is a top priority at the Federation, and we know that physical security is just one piece of what Jewish parents worry about at the start of the school year. Many Jewish parents are also thinking about their child’s well-being and inclusion in the classroom amid the rising antisemitism.
We’re supporting our community by playing a key role in the passage of a new statewide hate crimes and bias incident hotline, now live in King, Clark, and Spokane counties.
We’re proud to be part of the collective effort that helped defeat a harmful National Education Association measure and will continue working to ensure antisemitism has no place in our schools and institutions.
Through the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), the Federation combats antisemitism, builds community partnerships, and advocates with legislators to protect Jewish life. By working with policymakers and educating leaders, we ensure Jewish voices are heard, and we are standing up for our community in critical times of need.
Updates on our next generation of Jewish leaders, Israel partnerships, and advocacy efforts.
Updates on new leadership, camp scholarships, advocacy in schools, and more.
I hope you will join us this coming year to find connection, hope, and meaning during these turbulent times.
Hear from Hannah Lidman, the new Chair of the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), on building bridges and sustaining our community in challenging times.
We are coming together to call on our government leaders to safeguard Jewish communities from hatred and violence.
