Every flame begins with a single spark.
But together, those sparks have become
something extraordinary.
This year, your partnership created a
thriving center of Jewish life and
connection throughout our community.
Behind every number is a story, a smile,
a friendship, an inspired soul.
This is the impact we created together.
It begins with our children, Mommy and
Me and Hebrew School, C Kids workshops,
and the Jew Q competition.
More than 300 children discovered the
beauty of their Jewish heritage with joy
and confidence. Seeens reach students in
over 15 local high schools through
monthly events, halibakes, holiday
celebrations, and meaningful
conversations.
More than 250 teens found a place where
being Jewish feels exciting and alive.
For over 150 young Jewish professionals
and college students, Kabad became a
home away from home. Through networking
events, Shabas dinners and gatherings,
friendships were built, careers
connected, and Jewish identity
strengthen. Our women's community
continues to flourish. With more than 50
Shabbat discussions, holiday programs,
craft workshops, and lunch and learns,
women of all backgrounds found
inspiration, friendship, and connection.
From menches, bagels, locks, and to fill
in to special holiday gatherings, men
came together for meaningful
conversations, shared experiences, and a
stronger sense of community. Through
Kabad Cares, no one is forgotten. Visits
to more than 15 senior living facilities
along with weekly chicken soup and hala
deliveries bring warmth, friendship, and
joy to over 350 seniors and homebound
individuals.
Jewish learning continued to inspire
minds and hearts through the weekly
Torah studies classes, read it in Hebrew
lessons, the internationally acclaimed
JLI courses, and worldclass guest
speakers who uplifted and inspired our
community.
The heartbeat of our year is the
holidays. Thousands joined high holiday
services, holiday meals, home chauffeur
visits, and suka celebrations. 10 public
monoras and the Hanukkah parade filled
public spaces with warmth, pride, and
light. On Porum, hundreds heard the
McGill at 25 public readings while over
500 homes received holiday gift
packages. On Shabuis, children and
adults enjoyed the Ten Commandments and
ice cream social. At Pesak, thousands
received complimentary authentic Shura
matzah, while the public saders and
Messiah's meal brought hundreds together
around faith, freedom, and a brighter
future.
These moments, these connections, these
lives touched are only possible because
of you.
Thank you for being part of this story
and for helping shape a stronger,
brighter Jewish future for our entire
community.
