Seventy-five years after being established as a state, Israel has become a central hub of history, culture and innovation. In commemoration of this major milestone, the Jewish Federation is hosting four exciting, community-wide events: a Community Mitzvah Day, Shabbat Gatherings, a Taste of Israel Festival and an Israel 75 Mission.
February is Jewish Disability Awareness and Inclusion Month. Did you know that the Jewish Federation granted $323,665 last year to local organizations dedicated to increasing disability inclusion? One of these organizations was Philly Friendship Circle, which connects differently-abled children to form long-lasting connections.
For Marc Prine, building a vibrant Jewish community within Philadelphia is paramount. We talked to the chair of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s Committee for Jewish Life and Learning, also known as CJLL, about how he helps ensure that the Jewish Federation provides a welcoming and accessible community to all who want to participate.
The Jewish Federation is proud to partner with Judith Creed Horizons for Achieving Independence (JCHAI) by welcoming Office Scanning and Shredding Assistants Cara Whellan and Alex Lesse to the team.
Bright colored costumes swarming the streets, fresh hamentashen stuffed with every type of jam and filling, and masks bejeweled with glitter, gems, and feathers – yes, Purim is on its way! In celebration, the Jewish Federation is hosting opportunities for community members to get into their costumes and into the Purim spirit.
We look forward to celebrating Israel's 75th Anniversary by bringing the Greater Philadelphia community together for a myriad of festivities. As we approach this significant milestone, we hope that you'll save the date for these important events and also encourage your family, friends and colleagues to participate.
