A Leadership Briefing for Supporters of Jewish Education

The world of Bay Area Jewish families changed overnight on October 7. Children, teens, and parents are experiencing fear, trauma, and questions about the war in Israel that will have a deep and lasting effect on their Jewish identities. We invite our leadership, donors, and community members to this expert-led panel, where you will learn more about the challenges our schools, camping and youth programs face, and how we are supporting them.

  • Date: Thursday, March 14, 2024

  • Time: 9:30 – 10:45 am

  • Location: Zoom
