The 2nd annual Professional Directory to Jewish Washington is now accepting listings. This directory is distributed throughout the Jewish community and is a great networking and business development opportunity. In fact, the Jewish Federation staff refers many people in the community to this guide when they are looking for all types of businesses and Jewish professionals.
Join us for our Annual Meeting: "The Art of Building Community: A Framework for Giving" where we will present this year's recipients of the Jack J. & Charlotte Spitzer Young Leadership Award to Alexa Huggins and Jack Almo, Board Chair's Award for Outstanding Service to Andrew Cohen and the Pamela Waechter Jewish Communal Professional Award to Rivy Poupko Kletenik. Read more about them in our volunteer spotlight.
We want to learn more about your charitable preferences, what you think are the most pressing needs in the Jewish community, and how you think the Jewish Federation should focus its efforts. Your participation will help us shape how we continue to build our community in the future. Deadline: June 6.
