PINK-OUT Wednesdays in October at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades #breastcancerawareness #hope #makeadifference

One Community. One Commemoration. One Year. Last night, we stood together in solidarity, honoring the lives lost and reaffirming our unwavering commitment to the State of Israel. The powerful stories shared by Yael Alexander, mother of hostage Edan Alexander; Inbal Rahaf, an Israeli resident who was at a kibbutz when the attacks began on October 7, 2023; and Ziv Rahamim, an IDF soldier, were both heartbreaking and inspiring. It was deeply meaningful to unite as a community, especially as we were reminded last night that Jews are responsible for one another. We remembered those we lost, honored the heroism we’ve witnessed, and strengthened our resolve—Am Yisrael Chai!

Representing the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades at Demarest Day! #communitybuilding #beautifulday #JCCpride

More than 300 days ago, #Tenafly's EDAN ALEXANDER was kidnapped into #Gaza along with 250 other innocent people. He and 7 other U.S. citizens have not been seen or heard from, since. Every day, Amnesty International shamefully ignores their own stated mission by failing to visit the prisoners or effectively lobby for their release. WE NEED EDAN BACK NOW. cc Karin Elkis Mark Levenson Alicia D'Alessandro Corey Wolkenberg Marelyn R.

So proud to have represented Kaplen JCC on the Palisades with Steve Rogers, our CEO, at the executive seminar: “Navigating Israel and the Rise in Antisemitism,” hosted in partnership between JCC Association of North America, Brandeis University, and Boundless Israel. Along with leaders from dozens of other JCCs, we navigated through a curated journey of context and perspective followed by skills building and idea generation. We heard from scholars, historians and community leaders who shared their insights and personal stories, painting a vivid picture of resilience, resistance, and reimagination. We discussed the importance of leadership and learned techniques to address polarization and creating conditions for constructive dialogue. The Kaplen JCC is proud to stand in our values and work to combat Jew-hatred as we also continue to stand up against all forms of hatred. We are the singular community organization that is a destination for the Jewish community to engage in joyful celebration, while also being a place that welcomes and engages people of all faiths and backgrounds. This uniquely positions the Kaplen JCC to meet the needs of moment to both advance Jewish peoplehood and identity building; and, strengthen relationships across the community of all our neighbors as friends and allies. Proud of these articles that captured the seminar experience. We are firmly committed to the doing the work to advance changes. https://lnkd.in/eqWDCDxf https://lnkd.in/eVsSPXWb
