Reflections from Rose Yu, Executive Director, Hebrew Free Loan Association of Washington State.
To mark today’s anniversary and remember Pam, we have invited some longtime leaders in our Jewish community to share their reflections.
As we welcome Shabbat Nachamu this evening, my hope is that our community can hold both the memory of what we have lost and see a future where hope lies just over the horizon, even in dark times.
Last month, we facilitated the Faith Leader Roundtable 250, connecting nearly 50 local clergy from five faith traditions for a morning of learning and reflecting on the blessings and challenges facing our communities today.
At last night’s Federation Annual Meeting, we celebrated a year of impact, welcomed new board leadership, thanked our dedicated volunteers, and honored community leaders.
Before we turn our attention to the year ahead, I want to take a moment to reflect on what we have accomplished together, thanks to our community’s support.
In the last 12 months we’ve facilitated training on antisemitism and Jewish identity for nearly 1,000 community leaders and students.
As we start to turn to the beautiful summer, I know the end of the school year and summer activities are on the minds of many families in our community.
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 Aviva Schecterson and learn how she’s gaining leadership skills to better support and connect Jewish video game developers.
