At a time when many of us are seeking meaningful connection to one another, community, and Jewish life, we’ll explore how culture and the arts can create opportunities for belonging. As part of the GivingCircle+, we’ll learn together, pool our resources, and collectively allocate philanthropic dollars. Our goal is to support the creative work that strengthens Jewish belonging.
