Last week, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia held its Spring Annual Meeting at .beth.hillel.beth.el. The evening offered community members, lay leaders and our partner agencies a chance to come together to vote on our board members for Fiscal Year 2027, honor our Circle of Partners and recognize past leaders.

Perhaps most important of all, we engaged in a conversation about why Jewish identity matters now more than ever. A special thank you to Board Chair Jeffrey M. Solomon and Campaign Co-Chair Holly Nelson for a rich discussion.

As the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia continues its 125th anniversary celebration, June is a time to reflect on its commitment to inclusion and belonging.

For 125 years, we've worked to support those seeking safety and opportunity while uplifting voices that have not always been fully recognized.

Today, that commitment lives on through programs and initiatives like The New Golden Age, the LGBTQ+ Elder Initiative, Jewish Disability Awareness and Inclusion Month, support for Ethiopian Israelis and more.
