Join Erik Martin, Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of New Hampshire, for an inside look at how Federation works to strengthen Jewish life in our state and beyond. This conversation will explore the unique role Federation plays in bringing people together, supporting local programs, and ensuring that Jewish communities remain vibrant, connected, and resilient. Participants will learn how Federation partners with synagogues, schools, and community organizations across New Hampshire to support Jewish education, cultural programming, security, and community-building. The session will also highlight how local efforts connect to a broader global network, supporting humanitarian aid, strengthening Israel, and responding to crises when Jewish communities around the world need help.

Whether you are new to Federation or have been connected to the community for years, this program offers an opportunity to better understand how collective giving and shared responsibility make a real difference. Through stories, examples, and conversation, we will explore how working together allows our community to accomplish far more than any one organization—or individual—could achieve alone.
