NextGen OC

STATEMENT FROM FEDERATION & ADL ORANGE COUNTY/LONG BEACH

Jewish Federation of Orange County and ADL Orange County/Long Beach are aware of a violent antisemitic attack that occurred last night in Redlands involving a former member of OC Hillel. Federation’s SecureOC Community Security Director is in close communication with law enforcement and actively monitoring the situation. As Hanukkah begins on Sunday, we urge our community to remain vigilant, report suspicious activity, and prioritize personal and communal safety.

Join Jewish Federation of Orange County and Coastal Corridor Alliance for a Community Beach Cleanup in Newport Beach on Sunday, July 27!

We’ll roll up our sleeves, clean up the beach, and leave it better than we found it. Whether you come solo, with family, or friends—you’ll be in great company for a feel-good morning by the ocean.

🧤 Gloves and bags provided
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 All ages welcome
🕘 Starts at 9:00 AM

Let’s give back, get outside, and be part of something meaningful.

🇮🇱 Happy Yom Ha'Atzmaut! As we celebrate 77 years of Israel’s independence, look to the future with hope and optimism for a strong and vibrant Israel.

Israel needs us now.

As wildfires burn across Israel—on Yom Ha’atzmaut, no less—families are being evacuated, homes destroyed, and entire communities displaced.

Here in California, we know all too well the devastation wildfires can bring. Just as we came together this year to support victims of the LA fires, we must once again rise to help those in urgent need.

Your gift to our Israel Wildfire Emergency Relief Fund will bring critical relief to those affected.
