CJP, Greater Boston’s Jewish Federa-tion, brings together the people, partners and resources to fulfill the most important needs and aspira-

tions of our community. Rooted in compassion and justice and driven by innovation, we care for the vul-nerable, forge strong connections with Israel and above all, inspire the next generation to embrace Jewish life and learning.

We hope you enjoy this calendar and hope it opens a chance for us to en-gage with you more often. This time of year is always so inspiring—Rosh

Hashanah and Yom Kippur fill me with the sense that anything is possible and then Sukkot brings that joyous spirit to the week, and reminds me of our commit-ment to each other to build a strong, supportive Jewish community. We produce this calendar as one tool to support rich community life and feel proud of the col-laboration with all our sister agencies in the Brookline area. Hag Sameach! Amy Schectman, President and CEO, JCHE.
