📺 𝙇𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨, 𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖, 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣!

Jewish for Good's CEO Jill Madsen recently joined CBS 17's My Carolina to talk about the work we do across the Triangle — from volunteering alongside community organizations on Mitzvah Day and supporting dozens of local families each month with fresh produce, groceries, and hygiene products through our Food Pantry, to expanded programming for seniors through our Adult Day Center and young children at our Early Childhood Learning Center...

It's just a slice of what we're up to, but it's one we're proud to share!

A huge thank you to the My Carolina team for welcoming us into the conversation and helping share our story with the wider community. 💙

What if a concert felt less like watching… and more like being part of it?

On 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟭𝟬, Billy Jonas brings something different to the stage — a concert where you become part of the rhythm, the story, and the moment. Think drums made from found objects, voices rising together, and songs that make you laugh and think.

This is 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘿𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨, and it’s how we’re kicking off our Good Vibrations summer series.
