Letter from the CEO: What You Made Possible – 2025 Impact Report
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.

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.

The Federation’s mission and the vibrancy of our community were on display throughout all these gatherings last week.

We will be meeting with dozens of elected leaders to share the need to ensure Jewish communal safety through a range of legislative priorities.

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.

Read opening remarks from Solly Kane, President & CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, delivered at our community’s Bondi Beach Vigil and Candlelighting on December 17.

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.

Last night, I was honored to see so many of you join us for the 2025 Federation Fall Fundraiser: Together in Hope.
