Election Day is November 3, 2026. Jewish tradition teaches, “Do not separate yourself from the community” (Pirkei Avot 2:4), and voting is one of the most powerful ways to show up for it. Make your plan now: check your registration, find your polling place, and know your early voting options.

Today, Israelis turned out in historic numbers to exercise their democratic rights and establish the country’s path forward. @JFederations congratulate the people of Israel on a successful Election Day, one that reflects the shared values that bind Israelis and North American Jews, including a deep commitment to democratic principles and civic participation. As Israelis await final results and the formation of a new government, Jewish Federations look forward to continuing our work with leaders across the political spectrum to strengthen the bonds between Israel and Jewish communities in North America and advance our shared future.

It’s been eight years since the attack on Tree of Life Synagogue. Joyce Fienberg. Richard Gottfried. Rose Mallinger. Jerry Rabinowitz. Cecil Rosenthal. David Rosenthal. Bernice Simon. Sylvan Simon. Dan Stein. Melvin Wax. Irving Younger. We say their names. We remember their lives. We embrace their families. #JewishFederations commit to the work of building safer and stronger communities in their honor.

Gratitude doesn’t need to wait for a big occasion. That’s the whole premise behind @OneMitzvahADay: when someone stands up for Israel or speaks out against antisemitism, we say thank you, one person at a time.

After an antisemitic incident at their public school, Shannon decided to send her children to a Jewish day school, where being Jewish was the norm and not an exception. Her children are now building a lifelong connection to their Jewish identity. As One, we can help every Jewish child discover who they are.

Support for the Jewish community can come from many places. This week, it came from leaders abroad, allies who showed up when it counted, and parts of the U.S. government choosing action over silence. Recognition is a mitzvah too.

On Yom Kippur, we gather as a community to reflect, seek forgiveness, and draw strength from another as we look ahead with renewed hope. We wish you and your loved ones a meaningful fast. May we all be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life. G'mar Chatimah Tovah.
