Lighting Up Greater Philadelphia: Hanukkah Celebration Recap
From candle lighting and prayer to concerts and laser light shows, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia ensured a memorable Hanukkah for all. Throughout the holiday, the Jewish Federation’s various departments, including the neighborhood Kehillot, NextGen and the Jewish Community Relations Council, hosted several events to bring the community together and celebrate the Festival of Lights.
We are thrilled to announce that Alix Liiv Caplan is now the Jewish Federation’s Annual Campaign Director. Alix has been an instrumental member of the development team, including playing a significant role in recent emergency campaigns, cemetery restoration, LiveSecure and the Civil Rights Mission. Her passion for our mission and relationships with our donors will be an asset she settles into her new role. Kol Hakavod, Alix!
Ready for a new kind of conversation? The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s Delaware County Kehillah and Center City Kehillah are hosting a virtual series to answer some of life’s toughest questions by exploring traditional and non-traditional Jewish sources with local clergy.
Mazel tov to the 17 women within our community entering the new cohort of the Women’s Leadership Development Program (WLDP).

Rising to the Top
The Jewish Federation is proud to announce that Director of Community Development Max Moline has been accepted into the seventh cohort of the highly competitive Wexner Fellowship Program.

Many successful careers are credited with meaningful mentorships. Jewish Federation Real Estates (JFRE) Mentorship Program proudly offers the industry's most established and talented leaders and young professionals a unique opportunity to network, learn and grow together. In its third cohort, the JFRE Mentorship program is excited to once again connect up-and-coming professionals with giants of Philadelphia's real estate industry.
