Breast cancer touches more lives than we may realize: patients, survivors, caregivers, families, and friends.

For our Jewish community, awareness is especially important. About 1 in 40 people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent carries a harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene change, which can increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Among Ashkenazi Jewish women diagnosed with breast cancer, about 1 in 10 have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene change.
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we stand alongside everyone in our community whose life has been changed by breast cancer.

May we continue to support one another, share resources, encourage conversations about family history and genetic risk, and remind each other that no one has to face difficult moments alone.

October 7 remains a day etched in our collective memory.

We remember the lives lost and the families forever changed by the attacks of October 7, 2023. We hold close those who continue to carry the weight of that day and the years that followed.

As we remember, we also hold onto hope. We are grateful for those who have returned home and continue to hope for healing, safety, and peace for all those affected.

We will remember. We will continue to stand together as a community.

Simchat Torah is a time to celebrate the Torah and the joy of beginning again.

As we complete the annual reading of the Torah and immediately begin anew, we’re reminded of the continuity, tradition, and community that connect generations of Jewish life.

Wishing our community a meaningful and joyful Simchat Torah. Chag Sameach!
