In 2025, Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte allocated nearly $300,000 to support the work of the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI).

JAFI plays a critical role in strengthening Jewish communities around the world through emergency response efforts, support for vulnerable populations, Jewish educational initiatives, and programs that deepen Jewish connection and identity.

That impact is felt locally, too. Programs like ShinShinim and community soldier visits, which create meaningful opportunities for connection between Charlotte and Israel, are made possible through JAFI partnerships.

Some Jewish moments are big and memorable.

Others are small, ordinary, funny, comforting, and instantly familiar.

The smell of challah on a Friday afternoon.
The camp songs you somehow still remember years later.
Someone insisting you take home leftovers.
Hearing “Shabbat Shalom” from across a room.
Kids dancing with total confidence and zero rhythm.

Tiny Jewish joys have a way of staying with us. 💙

What’s one tiny Jewish joy you would add?

Today, law enforcement officials announced developments in the investigation into the antisemitic incident that occurred in January 2026, which involved the placement of signage containing N**i imagery across Shalom Park campus. Shalom Park is home to schools, places of worship, community organizations, and gathering spaces used by thousands of people each year.

Dalton Ray Mullis, 24, of Indian Land, S.C., was arrested on Thursday on a criminal complaint and appeared in court today before U.S. Magistrate Judge David C. Keesler. Charging documents also allege that between January and April 2026, Mullis posted antisemitic messages and imagery on multiple social media sites. If convicted, he faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

The conduct described in the charges was intended to intimidate, threaten, and unsettle members of the Jewish community.

For many in our community, the presence of antisemitic symbols on a campus that serves Jewish children, families, and organizations was deeply painful and disturbing. While the materials were removed quickly, their impact on many members of our community lasted far longer. We remain committed to supporting those who were impacted and to ensuring that Jewish Charlotte continues to be a place where people can gather, learn, celebrate, and live Jewishly with confidence.

Our community is grateful to the FBI, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, and our local, state, and federal partners for pursuing the investigation with diligence and care. Today’s announcement demonstrates that acts of antisemitic intimidation will be investigated thoroughly and treated with the seriousness they deserve.

We will continue to invest in security, preparedness, and strong partnerships with law enforcement to help ensure our community remains safe and secure. We remain committed to the safety, security, and well-being of our community. Acts of antisemitism seek to isolate and intimidate. Our response remains what it has always been: to stand together, support one another, and continue building a strong, vibrant Jewish future.

Congratulations to Douglas Greene, Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte's Director of Jewish Community Relations, and Howard Olshansky, Executive Director of Jewish Family Services of Greater Charlotte on graduating from the inaugural OHEL Belonging Fellowship through the Jewish Federations of North America.

The 6-month long fellowship brought together Jewish communal professionals from across the country to explore belonging not as a program, but as the foundation of thriving communities. At the national convening in New York City, Douglas and Howard represented Greater Charlotte and presented the Cornerstone Project, Shalom Park's campus-wide belonging initiative.

We are grateful for their leadership, partnership, and continued commitment to creating a community where everyone feels they belong.

A strong Jewish community is built intentionally.

It grows through education, leadership, shared traditions, volunteerism, community spaces, and opportunities that help people feel connected to Jewish life at every stage and generation.

Every program, gathering, learning opportunity, and act of participation helps create a more vibrant and resilient Jewish future.

These are the things that strengthen Jewish life in Charlotte and beyond

Jewish history is world history.

The Jewish experience is deeply connected to broader stories of immigration, resilience, civil rights, culture, education, innovation, and community-building throughout American and global history.

Jewish communities have helped shape the arts, sciences, business, medicine, advocacy movements, and civic life while carrying traditions and identity across generations and across continents.

Understanding Jewish history helps provide greater context for conversations about belonging, identity, and the shared experiences that continue to shape our communities today.

What a fun way to kick off summer!

Yesterday, families from across Jewish Charlotte gathered for Family Field Day. It was a morning of play, connection, and community. From sports stations, mini golf, and bounce houses to crafts, summer reading activities, sweet treats, and plenty of time to connect with friends old and new, it was a wonderful way to celebrate the start of the season.

We also celebrated the incredible momentum of this year’s Annual Campaign and the community that makes it all possible.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We loved celebrating with you and can’t wait for all the fun, connection, and Jewish experiences this summer has in store. 💙
