Today is Holocaust Survivor Day.

Sam Silberberg is one of 145 Holocaust survivors living right here in Orange County. His story is a powerful reminder of resilience, courage, and the importance of ensuring survivors are cared for, honored, and never forgotten.

While we celebrate survivors like Sam and the generations they helped build, many still rely on community support for vital services, resources, and care.

💙 Thanks to the KAVOD Survivors of the Holocaust Emergency Fund (SHEF), every dollar donated will be matched up to $36,000—doubling your impact.

This Holocaust Survivor Day, join us in showing up for survivors. Together, we can help ensure that survivors like Sam live their remaining years with the dignity, care, and support they deserve.

Chag Shavuot Sameach from all of us at Jewish Federation of Orange County. đź’™

"What is a new blessing in your life?"

This Shavuot, Rabbi Joshua Stanton invites us to reflect on the meaning of “harvest” in our modern lives—not only in what we grow, but in what we learn, the connections we build, and the ways we uplift one another.

As we receive the Torah anew, may we recognize the many blessings around us and the “multitudes of good” that strengthen our global Jewish family.

On Yom HaZikaron, Jewish Federation of Orange County stands with Israel in remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice defending Israel, and all victims of terrorism.

As we gather around the Seder table this Passover, we retell the story of our journey from bo***ge to freedom — a story of resilience, responsibility, and Jewish continuity.

Passover reminds us that Jewish life endures because each generation chooses to care for one another and protect what matters most.

Today, that also means ensuring our community can gather safely.

Through SecureOC, Jewish Federation of Orange County is helping safeguard our synagogues, schools, and community spaces — so Jewish families can gather, celebrate, and live proudly with confidence and peace of mind.

Through a national partnership, every $2 invested locally helps unlock an additional $1 in funding to strengthen security across our community.

This Passover, we invite you to help protect and strengthen Jewish life in Orange County.

From generation to generation, we carry it forward.

Chag Pesach Sameach.
