Shared Leadership, Collective Impact

At the Jewish Community Foundation of The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, leadership is collaborative. Our lay leaders and professional team work in partnership to guide Jewish Greater Washington with integrity, purpose, and vision. Together, we set strategic priorities, steward critical resources, and strengthen connections across our local community, in Israel, and around the world.

Grounded in enduring Jewish values and a deep commitment to our region, our leadership is shaping a vibrant, resilient, and inclusive Jewish future—one that honors the diversity, energy, and aspirations of the Greater Washington Jewish community.
