Why now?

Since October 7th, we’ve felt vulnerable being Jewish in the SF Bay Area. “Cultivating Hope in a Post October 7th World” provides a space for us (20 – 30somethings) to come together, learn, and find ways to take action in a way that’s right for each of us. Let’s foster a sense of belonging, contribute to meaningful conversations, and navigate the complexities of a post-October 7th world with empowerment!

📍This event is organized by the J Leaders National Council and Academy alumni from our past four cohorts.

Co-hosted by Jewish Silicon Valley (JSV) Jewbilee, JCRC of Silicon Valley, Malka Productions, Moishe House SF – Marina, Moishe House SF – Nob Hill, and SFBadJews

With special appreciation to Jewish Silicon Valley for their financial support through the “Israel Emergency Campaign”.
