This research helps us see where we have things in common, where we differ, and what we can do to improve our community’s well-being and engagement. I am excited today to share the results of this survey with our community for the first time.
We are proud to shine a spotlight on the fellows in this year’s Loeb Leadership Institute (LLI) cohort, the Federation’s year-long program that prepares Seattle’s Jewish leaders for future service. Meet Ayli Meyer-Uri and find out why she decided to join the program after moving to Seattle five years ago.
Last month, the Federation launched Shared Table, a pilot program bringing together dozens of Jews from across Greater Seattle with diverse religious and political perspectives.
It is our job to do whatever we can to build a thriving Jewish future. We will only be able to do that work if we continue to take the steps into the water together and have faith that the sea will part.
This session, our team pushed forward to advance Jewish safety and belonging and uphold civil liberties and human rights.
As a Jewish community, we have allowed these security measures – out of necessity – to be normalized, when in reality, we should be calling out that nothing about this is normal, nor should it be normalized in the United States, where freedom of religion is an enshrined right.
In February, the Federation partnered with the Samis Foundation and ElevatEd to host a dynamic day of professional development for early childhood educators in Seattle.
We can lift up joyful experiences and celebrate that more young people are engaging while also striving to support those who are affected by antisemitism.
As you read our 2025 Impact Report, I hope you feel as proud as I am to be part of our incredible Seattle Jewish community.
