JFED Fall FEDU Capstone 2

Introducing the Super Connect Series – a new, flexible evolution of Super Sunday – short, high-impact calling gatherings led by different groups in our community, designed to boost energy and participation during the 80 in 80 Community Challenge.

Our Teen Night will take place as part of Kehillah High.

Yom Limmud 2026, chaired by Hilary Cohen and Josh Barvin, is shaping up to be an extraordinary day! With this year’s theme, B’Yachad, we look forward to coming together on Sunday, February 15. Register here.

Highlights include Sal Litvak, director of Guns & Moses and the cult hit When Do We Eat?, will share his story from immigrant kid to a Hollywood filmmaker, stand-up performer and co-creator of Accidental Talmudist. Additionally, Award-winning photographer Debbie Zimelman will share firsthand stories and striking images from her book Women on the Front Lines, the only photographic collection dedicated to women serving in IDF combat units.

As part of our 80 in 80 Challenge, we’re excited to introduce the Super Connect Series – a new way to connect with our community while raising the funds that help keep us strong.

Like Super Sunday, our Super Connect Series is about reaching out with a purpose and bringing together community members of all ages to make personal calls.
