Letter from JCRC Leadership on the 2024 Election
While none of us can be certain about what the next four years will look like we wanted to take a moment to share some of the JCRC’s basic core principles that will ground and drive our work.

As we approach the 2024 Election Day on November 5, we know tensions in our country are high. Our top priority is the safety and well-being of the Jewish community.
The anniversary of Oct 7 is a time for grief, anger, remembrance, action, and community. It’s also a time for reflection, especially since it falls during the Days of Awe.
Community members explored antisemitism and engaged in meaningful discussions during the impactful exhibit co-hosted by the Federation’s JCRC last week.
The inherent nature of JCRC work, especially addressing antisemitism, is such that there are always crises.
School administrators and educators must take steps to address antisemitism.
The success of our advocacy work in Olympia is not just incumbent upon high-level professionals and dedicated volunteers, it also relies upon partnerships and allyships — both with legislators and with advocates from other communities.

This was unlike any prior Israel trip I experienced. These were intense days filled with a huge sense of loss, but balanced with the strong resiliency by Israelis we met and their gratitude for us showing up. It was a bit of a rollercoaster, going from sharing their grief to being astounded by their strength.
