Letter from the CEO: A Critical Week for Jewish Seattle at Home and Abroad
I hope you will join us this coming year to find connection, hope, and meaning during these turbulent times.

I hope you will join us this coming year to find connection, hope, and meaning during these turbulent times.

We are coming together to call on our government leaders to safeguard Jewish communities from hatred and violence.

The violence in Boulder on Sunday, at a peaceful walk to remember the remaining hostages in Gaza, is unthinkable.

Join us for our Annual Meeting on June 26 as we recognize community changemakers.

Today, we mourn the young couple, Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, who were murdered last night in Washington D.C., outside the Capital Jewish Museum, after attending an American Jewish Committee (AJC) event.

After careful deliberation, the Federation’s JCRC voted to sign a national statement addressing the relationship between Jewish safety and democracy.

That feeling of being trapped that our ancestors experienced during the Exodus feels similar to the experience of North American Jews right now.

We can have an impact in Israel by voting in the upcoming World Zionist Congress elections, and I want to strongly urge our Seattle Jewish community to participate.

There were two words that kept coming up over and over again during my trip: trauma and resilience.

In moments such as these, our communities rely on one another to come together, embrace each other, and provide strength. I hope we will continue to do so.
