Jewish Federation Bay Area

As Shabbat ends, our hearts are in Israel, with the Israeli people and the brave men and women serving in the U.S. military and the Israel Defense Forces who are risking their lives for freedom from terror and oppression.

The Federation condemns the antisemitic terrorist attack that targeted hundreds celebrating the first night of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach in Sydney.

Federation President & CEO Joy Sisisky at @z3project: "We're looking at every lever we can pull — using philanthropy and all the tools available — to help Israel rebuild and combat antisemitism here at home." Thanks to @shaunmmaguire, @mlevram & Omer Fein for a great discussion.

Governor Newsom has signed AB 715 into law, protecting students from antisemitism and hate in CA schools. Thank you @GavinNewsom, @JPAC_CA, CA Legislative Jewish Caucus, and all the organizations and advocates who made this possible. #AB715
