We are all dealing with a dynamic and challenging situation as the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread worldwide. Given that this is a public health crisis, our most important sources of information are the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization

 

At this time, out of an abundance of caution and care for our Jewish community and the community at large, the Jewish Federation has postponed or canceled all Jewish Federation in-person meetings and events scheduled to take place through November. While disappointing, we are committed to supporting efforts to slow transmission through social distancing.

 

We remain committed to providing safe, secure, and meaningful ways for you to connect with us, each other, and our community. We are exploring creative virtual solutions where appropriate.

 

We applaud our community and the tremendous effort to transition to virtual events. 

 

This page will continue to be updated as more resources are curated. If you have a virtual event that you would like to share please add it to our Virtual Community Calendar please send an email with the information and link to federation@jewishsgpv.org
