As Passover approaches, we’re reminded of the power of hope, resilience, and unity that enabled our ancestors to overcome challenges thousands of years ago. This timeless story continues to inspire Jewish families worldwide and guide us through unprecedented times.

As the President of our Federation, I’m deeply inspired by our community’s resilience and unwavering faith in the face of adversity. Despite record levels of antisemitism, political divides, and the lingering impacts of COVID, we’ve come together in support of those in need.

To continue our journey, I’m committed to fostering collaboration and partnership within our community, building upon our strengths, and upholding our shared values to advance our mission. Each of us has a unique role to play in this collective effort, whether as a lay leader, volunteer, donor, or staff member. It’s our collective responsibility to support one another, particularly those who are most vulnerable.

As we reflect on the story of the Exodus this Passover, let’s answer the call with empathy, care, and responsibility that are at the heart of our Jewish identity. Join us on April 2 for Super Sunday, a family-friendly event with activities, raffles, and most importantly, an opportunity to support the community we love. Your contributions will help ensure that vital programs in security, education, health and wellness, social justice, or community building continue to thrive.

Together, we can work towards addressing the most pressing needs of our time and creating a community that upholds the values of compassion, empathy, and responsibility.

May this Passover bring us joy, peace, and renewed strength, and I look forward to working with you to create a brighter future for us all.
