We are so grateful for your support of our Insights & Inspirations event series this past season!

Our programs — including films, authors, celebrities, Jewish and Israeli thought leaders, and more — welcomed nearly 5,000 unique participants, with over 2,000 attending their very first Federation program. Thank you to all who joined us!

Our staff and leadership team are already hard at work planning what we hope will be an even more engaging, enjoyable, and thought-provoking season for 2025-2026. Here are just a few highlights:

We are honored to welcome Yoav Gallant, former Israeli Minister of Defense (2022-2024).

Gallant will share his reflections on October 7, 2023, and the lasting impact the war has had on Israel since that tragic day.

Experience a special community event with internationally acclaimed challah artist Idan Chabasov, The Challah Prince. His interactive workshops captivate audiences worldwide, blending artful braiding, Jewish tradition, storytelling, and connection.

Calling all bibliophiles and book clubs! Our beloved People of the Book series returns with the popular Bagels & Books brunch at The Ora. We are thrilled to welcome Kristin Harmel (NYT #1 International best-selling author), Pam Jenoff (NYT best-selling author), and Alyson Richman (USA Today #1 International best-selling author).

And that’s just the beginning!

Stay tuned to the Jewish News, our website jfedsrq.org/events, our email newsletters, and social media for more exciting announcements. A full program guide with the complete Lineup will arrive in mailboxes this September.

We can’t wait to see you this season! ✨
