Thank you @RecParkSF and Supervisor Melgar for renaming Stow Lake to Blue Heron Lake!

[San Francisco Recreation and Park Department @RecParkSF]

Stow was also an antisemite who openly wished to rid California of its Jewish population, & attempted to tax Jews in order to discourage them from opening businesses.

Supervisor Myrna Melgar spearheaded the community effort to rename the lake starting last year.

[Koret Foundation @KoretFoundation]

An amazing opportunity for Jewish filmmakers!

[JCRC Bay Area @SFJCRC]

Thank you @UCSF for taking a stand against antisemitism and harmful conspiracy theories. We need our institutions to continue to speak out during this troubling time.

[Koret Foundation @KoretFoundation]

Kehilla, Hebrew for community, is at the heart of our work. Our winter newsletter highlights the amazing work our grantees are doing, both in the Bay Area and Israel, to support their communities

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Jewish Americans embody what the late Rabbi Jonathan Sacks said:

“A people whose capacity for joy cannot be destroyed is itself indestructible.”

Rallying with pride, unity, and even joy in the face of pain – just like the Hanukkah candles that defiantly burned miraculously.

[Koret Foundation @KoretFoundation]

The story of Hanukkah is one of survival against great odds, and the miracle of faith. This Hanukkah, we celebrate our grantees working to support Israel and the global Jewish community today—and to ensure a brighter tomorrow.

Happy Hanukkah!

[St. Anthony's @stanthonysf]

The @KoretFoundation shared a beautiful spotlight on the work of St. Anthony's and our impact on the community. Thank you!

“Pan American Unity,” Diego Rivera’s largest mural, is monumental both in size and scope. How the 30-ton mural travelled 7 miles from @OfficialCCSF to @SFMOMA is its own saga.

Read about its journey and the dozens of people who made it happen here.

Senator Dianne Feinstein was an advocate and trailblazer for women, the Jewish community, and so many more.

California Jewish leaders, including Koret board president Anita Friedman, honor and remember her impressive legacy below.

[Jewish Insider @jewishinsider]

Friends and colleagues of @SenFeinstein describe a pioneering figure who "lifted the spirits and inspired" a generation of women to get involved in politics, @GSDeutch reports.
