Earlier this month, a group of young Jewish adults from the Seattle area traveled to Greece for Inside Jewish Greece, a JDC Entwine experience presented in partnership with Jconnect Seattle. The trip explored Jewish life in Athens and Thessaloniki, offering participants a deeper understanding of the country’s historic and modern Jewish communities. Led by JDC—the world’s leading Jewish humanitarian organization—the trip highlighted JDC’s long-standing work in Greece, from supporting vulnerable Jewish populations to preserving centuries of Sephardic heritage. JDC is a core partner of the Federation system in supporting Jewish communities around the world. As part of our local Federation’s investment in world Jewry, this year, Federation allocated nearly $250,000 to JDC to support their work. This immersive journey was made possible through the generosity of Stan and Michele Rosen and family, and was proudly funded in part by the Federation. Federation staff member, Ben Berman, participated in the trip. Read his reflection here: https://www.jewishinseattle.org/jdc-entwine-greece/ (fb)

Today, we mourn the young couple, Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, who were murdered last night in Washington D.C., outside the Capital Jewish Museum, after attending an American Jewish Committee (AJC) event.
