JFS Israeli Community Services (ICS) was established after October 7 to meet the evolving needs of the Israeli community in Washington State. Since then, we have continued to witness and address the ongoing impacts on our community. JFS remains dedicated to supporting the health, well-being, and stability of the local Jewish community through these challenging and uncertain times.
We are here to listen and provide resources and referrals. We hope this safe landing spot will offer support and connection as the needs of the community continue to evolve.
The types of support and referrals* we may provide are:
*Please note that support may change over time as we learn more about the community’s needs.
Email Sigal Bujman at sbujman@jfsseattle.org to set up a confidential conversation so we can understand your needs and answer any questions.
Israeli Community Services is a part of our JFS Community Connections program. As such, Israeli Community Services strives to bring community together. We organize community initiatives and events independently and in collaboration with partners. We also create workshops and trainings based on input we receive from the community.
Email Sigal Bujman at sbujman@jfsseattle.org if you have an idea for a workshop or event, or to get a list of upcoming events.
JFS offers short-term, limited financial assistance to cover an unexpected financial crisis, such as recent relocation to Seattle, interruption in income, or unexpected expenses that threaten stability through our Community Stabilization Services (CSS) program. Assistance is available once in a 24-month period.
Please view the information and requirements here.
