Happy Father's Day and first day of summer!

Thank you to the fathers who teach tradition at the Shabbat table, who model leadership in community, who share Jewish values with the next generation, and make summer memories infused with Jewish joy.

This Shabbat, Jewish Federations recognize Juneteenth and recommit to the sacred work of pursuing justice and freedom for all. The Jewish value of "tzedek, tzedek tirdof" (justice, justice you shall pursue) calls on us to build communities rooted in equity, dignity, and justice for everyone. Shabbat Shalom!

"If you see what needs to be repaired and know how to repair it, then you have found a piece of the world that God has left you to perfect. "

- Menachem Mendel Schneerson

If l am not for me, who is for me; and if l am (only) for myself, what am l? And if not
now, when?

-Rabbi Hillel

This Shabbat, we remember Anne Frank who was born on this day in 1929. She was just 15 when she was murdered in the Holocaust.

Her diary remains one of the most powerful accounts of what Jewish families endured and has helped generations understand the loss of six million Jewish lives.

Today, and every day, honor her memory by providing Holocaust survivors with the dignity and care they deserve.

Shabbat Shalom
