Join the Jewish Community Federation of Richmond, its Jewish Community Relations Committee, and Richmond Hadassah for Virginia Jewish Advocacy Day on Feb. 7.

Virginia Jewish Advocacy Day is an opportunity to come together and advocate with participants from Jewish communities all across the Commonwealth.  We gather in Richmond to meet with elected officials and speak up on behalf of the issues central to our mission.

The day starts at 8 a.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 815 E. Grace St., Richmond.  During the day, Governor Glenn Youngkin, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears and Attorney General Jason Miyares have been invited to speak to the group.  We welcome their remarks.

Once again, attendees will have the opportunity to meet with our area Delegates and Senators or their staff in their offices in the new General Assembly building

Join us and ensure that your voice is a part of the larger voice of the Virginia Jewish communities.

Registration is required. The cost to attend is $36, and includes a kosher lunch and roundtrip bus transportation from the Weinstein JCC to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. The bus will leave at 7:30 a.m.
