关于我们
The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington envisions an open, connected, and vibrant Jewish community that cares for each other, fosters Jewish learning and journeys, embraces Jewish peoplehood and Israel, and acts as a force for good in the world. Our mission is to inspire, build, and sustain vibrant Jewish life in a changing world by mobilizing our community in common purpose, intentional innovation, and effective action. Federation supports 58 local agencies, 14 national organizations, 18 overseas partners and programs, and 60+ congregations that care for those in need, deepen engagement in Jewish life and connect Jews locally, in Israel, and around the world. Justice for the poor, honoring seniors, supporting those who are ill or in crisis, nurturing and educating our children, inclusion of all, and helping refugees find freedom and economic self-sufficiency are central to our values and the programs we support. We are equally committed to inspiring learning and experiences in order to shape our Jewish communal identity. Formal education opportunities and informal Jewish experiences like summer camps, youth groups and trips to Israel provide learning, recreational, cultural and social activities that nourish our bodies and our minds. We connect with purpose through our culture, history, and identity.

Staff Spotlight: Meet Shay HaLevi "Every day, I get to work closely with organizations and individuals to create safer environments, ensuring that they can focus on their missions without fear. JShield's work is crucial because it not only addresses immediate security concerns but also fosters a culture of preparedness, resilience, and collaboration. Knowing that my efforts contribute to the safety and well-being of others is incredibly rewarding." Shay joined Federation last year as the Deputy Director of Community Security for our JShield security division. As a former detective for the Israeli Special Police Force and a former security director at Charles E Smith Jewish Day School, Shay brings over a decade of experience in community safety, threat assessment, and investigation. We're thrilled to have him on our team!

The vibe at Crush Bar DC earlier this month was fun and lively, but our Next Gen division's first LGBTQ+ focused event also marked a meaningful moment for our Jewish community. As one attendee remarked, “There was a time when [the queer community] had to be entirely self-sufficient to survive. [Now] we have the support needed to thrive, and we aren’t alone.” We were proud to bring together our partners from Keshet, Edlavitch DC Jewish Community Center GLOE, Congregation Bet Mishpachah, and NJB+ for this evening of networking, and to mark the opening of the @Capital Jewish Museum exhibit on LGBTQ+ Jewish History in DC. In your 20s, 30s, or 40s and want to get involved with Next Gen? Reach out to the team at [email protected].
