This week, Columbia Jewish Federation had the privilege of representing our community in Washington, D.C. at the JFNA Security Advocacy Fly-In alongside Jewish leaders from across the country.
Together, we met with congressional offices to advocate for stronger federal security support for Jewish institutions and other faith communities, including continued funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program. These conversations were not only about policy, but also about sharing the very real experiences our Jewish communities are facing today.
We were proud to share the stories from our community, the challenges we continue to navigate, and the importance of ensuring that our Jewish institutions can remain safe, vibrant, and open for future generations.
We are grateful to JFNA for organizing this important effort and thankful to the many leaders who continue advocating for the safety and strength of Jewish life nationwide.
