Review for Jconnect Seattle, Seattle, WA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

JConnect Seattle is many things to me. I daven at J Connect services on Shabbat and chaggim; it is my shul and Rabbi Will and Rabbi Jacob are my friends and teachers. I stop by Hillel sometimes just to say hello and usually bump into friends/community, and that's always very nice. A handful of us have also started our own weekly learning group which is an important part of all of our weeks. I also attend some J Connect events at farms, danceclubs, at Hillel and around. I am a musician and J Connect often employs and provides me with space and support. I also use Hillel counseling services. In short, J Connect does a lot for me. It provides community, Yiddishkeit, employment, counseling, spirituality, food, girlfriends, good friends and warmth.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Good friends, good events, Kabbalat Shabbat, Chaggim, dinners, gatherings at Hillel, people's houses and around town.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The sense of warmth and the base of community it provides my life.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Make more trips, provide more tzeddaka opportunities, market itself to a broader base of people,
