Join Rabbi Ronit Tsadok, Director of Project Kavod, for monthly, stand-alone learning opportunities that draw on the wisdom and tools of Jewish tradition to help us navigate times of instability and uncertainty. Project Kavod is a JFS initiative that connects our essential work to the core Jewish values that inspire and guide our mission. All members of the Jewish community are warmly invited to participate. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussion as much or as little as they feel comfortable. All learning opportunities will be hosted in-person at the Jewish Family Service Seattle Campus. A kosher, vegetarian lunch will be provided. All guests must be pre-registered to attend. Questions? Please email Rabbi Ronit Tsadok below
Cold weather is setting in, and many resettled refugees arrived without the warm clothes and gear they need for Pacific Northwest winters, and that are too expensive to buy. Help these families stay warm by purchasing and donating new cold weather items. How to help: Order from our Amazon Wishlist or go shopping and then drop of donations (schedule a drop-off by emailing emailing inkinddonations@jfsseattle.org.). Question? Contact our Community Connections Assistant at inkinddonations@jfsseattle.org or (206) 861-3153.
No one should go hungry. Most of JFS clients rely on SNAP food assistance, which is often not enough to keep bellies full. Visits to the Polack Food Bank have been skyrocketing as prices rise and federal support dwindles. Buy items from our Amazon wish list to support our neighbors who pick up food from the Polack Food Bank.
Jewish Family Service and Congregation Beth Shalom invite you to a four-part series of supportive gatherings designed for listening, grounding, and learning new coping practices. Facilitated by clinical psychologist Steve Katz, each session will draw on Jewish wisdom and offer space for open conversation about navigating current events, antisemitism, and the emotional challenges of this moment. Join us on Monday nights from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. to connect, find strength in community, and explore meaningful tools for resilience. Session Dates: • December 5 (Hybrid) • December 22 (Zoom only) • January 12, 2026 (Hybrid) • January 26, 2026 (Zoom only) Registration is required.
