“The #GeneralAssembly is vital to our mission to build flourishing Jewish communities, bringing together leaders from across the United States, Canada, and Israel to ensure that we not only survive, but thrive.” said Shira Hutt.

"We're human. So of course, there are moments of great sadness and despair, but we never lost sight of this day, praying that it would come," said Judy Alperin, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville.

"It's a moment of great personal joy tempered by real sadness," said Scott Kaufman, president and CEO of the Miami Jewish Federation. "Joy for all the reunions that took place, and then thinking about all the reunions that will never take place."

“Peace remains fragile. Achieving lasting security will require courage from leaders and each of us. We must stand against hate and advocate for what’s right in our schools, workplaces and communities.” Read more from @JewishPalmBeach’s Michael Hoffman: https://t.co/zZTNmceS9O

@JFederations offer our heartfelt and deepest condolences upon learning of the passing of Rabbi Moshe Hauer z”l, the Executive Vice President of the @OrthodoxUnion and Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation B’nai Jacob Shaare Zion in Baltimore, MD https://t.co/29ATDh1xdC

@JFederations are proud to announce a lineup of some of the most influential participants in public life for this year’s #GeneralAssembly, including @RahmEmanuel in conversation with @ScottJenningsKY and @JessicaTarlov:

“This has been the hardest couple of years of my lifetime. And, I think, [for] the American Jewish community, certainly since the Holocaust.” - Rabbi Marc Baker, president and CEO of @CJPBoston

“I’m grateful for a ceasefire,” said LaDona Fishkin, executive director of the Jewish Federation of Peoria. “I’m tired of seeing explosions on both sides. I am praying for the opportunity to rebuild both Israel and Gaza.”

“We are your neighbors, and we are just like you. We have been hurting and struggling over the past two years, and finally now we can have some peace,” said Joseph Metz, president of the Mobile Area Jewish Federation

@JFederations welcome Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, which mark the completion and beginning of the Torah reading cycle. We rejoice in the Torah’s eternal wisdom and the strength of our traditions. Chag Sameach!

Today, as we celebrate the long-awaited return of the 20 living hostages, our joy is tempered by profound sorrow. @JFederations stand in solidarity and in prayer with the families of the four hostages whose bodies are being returned to Israel. https://t.co/gPiXbvpVTX

Can’t hold back the tears. Israel has waited 738 days for this moment. We are starting to breathe again. Our hearts will be whole when every hostage is home. Footage: IDF Spokesperson Unit

Grab your tissues. Segev Kalfon’s family didn’t know he had survived the October 7 attack until February, when they heard from a released hostage that he was alive. Today, after 738 days in captivity, Segev is finally, finally reunited with his family. 💛

Omri Miran reunited with his daughters.

On Indigenous Peoples' Day, #JewishFederations recognize the history and ongoing struggles of Indigenous communities. We commit to listening, learning, and building stronger relationships based on mutual respect and understanding.

#JewishFederations across North America and Jews everywhere celebrate this long-awaited moment of relief and joy, standing in solidarity with the families and the people of Israel. Our full statement: https://t.co/qSE9FhKMfo (5/5)

Today we rejoice as the 20 surviving hostages come home to their loved ones and finally fill the empty chairs at our tables and begin mending our broken hearts. (4/5)
