We are proud to shine a spotlight on the fellows in this year’s Loeb Leadership Institute cohort, the Federation’s year-long program that prepares Seattle’s Jewish leaders for future service. Fellows develop the skills to make a lasting impact in the community through board service, workshops, and personalized mentorship.
Over the weekend, many of us woke up to the news of yet another antisemitic attack – this time in Jackson, Mississippi.
On Wednesday, hundreds joined our Community Candlelighting and Vigil for the victims of the tragic Bondi Beach attack.
With open enrollment underway for the 2026–2027 school year and application deadlines for many schools falling in mid-January, now is a great time for families to explore whether a Jewish day school might be the right fit for their child.
As I woke up this morning preparing for the start of Chanukah, I was instead greeted with headlines of a mass shooting at a Chanukah celebration on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, and Jewish Federations across the country, are horrified by this antisemitic terrorist attack.
I wish you a bright and joyful Chanukah – may this season be a time of a little more light in our world.
Created by the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), this four-session cohort experience offers a structured, supportive space to listen, learn, and communicate across divides in our diverse Jewish community. If you are interested in sharing your perspectives with others and learning how to build connections across differences, we hope you will consider joining us at a Shared Table.
Over 800 community members gathered last week to hear from Rachel and Jon as they shared the story of their son, Hersh, and how living a life with purpose helps them carry on his legacy.
Last night, I was honored to see so many of you join us for the 2025 Federation Fall Fundraiser: Together in Hope.
Read opening remarks from Solly Kane, President & CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, delivered at the Federation’s Fall Fundraiser: Together in Hope on November 13.
