Connect with Our Community

As this conflict rages, we are committed to sharing community events, webinars, and other resources to learn about the situation on the ground.

Many of us have family and friends in Israel. While we cannot remove someone’s pain, the act of letting someone know that they are not alone is an important gesture. Send a text or email letting them know they are in our hearts. Also, please let us know if you know anyone in Israel by emailing us at info@jewishcolumbus.org
