TLDR: In this post, Sandy shares about the importance of members’ active involvement in GJ, and outlines multiple ways those involved with GJ can take action with us today:

•Include their affiliation with us on their resume and share about their involvement as a member with your network.

•Share our social media posts.

•Participate in our 2025 monthly GJ Master Classes, join one of our communities of practice, and attend one of our upcoming network gatherings.

•Consider making an end-of-year financial contribution to GJ, no matter the size.

The first thing I hear from people upon introducing them to Global Jewry (GJ) is amazement. They are impressed by the number and diversity of the influential individuals in our network, all united by a shared mission: strengthening the Jewish people and helping repair the world. The enormous potential of this dynamic, global community to achieve extraordinary outcomes excites and inspires them.

And well it should. Jewish togetherness has never been more important and, with the help of those involved with GJ, we are perfectly positioned to advance that goal.

All we need to realize our promise is members’ active involvement. The true strength of any network lies in the engagement of its members. By participating in GJ, they not only support our mission but also amplify their personal and organizational impact. Sharing ideas, programs, and thought leadership with GJ members is an excellent way to showcase their work and broaden their reach within the Jewish world.

Here are a few ways you can get involved:

• Publicly align with GJ. Members should share their affiliation on their resume, social media platforms, and in conversations with colleagues, friends, and family. By highlighting their involvement in articles, speeches, or public appearances, they can introduce GJ to new supporters, helping to grow our community and elevate our mission of Jewish unity.

• Share our content. Engaging with and sharing GJ’s social media posts—whether about events, initiatives, or success stories—helps us reach broader audiences. Every like, share, and comment builds the momentum necessary for our success.

• Join us at events. Participate in our 2025 monthly GJ Master Classes, join a community of practice, or attend one of our upcoming network gatherings. As they say, 90% of success is simply showing up!

• Support us financially. A year-end contribution of any size fuels our efforts and demonstrates your active commitment to GJ’s vision.

The engagement of those involved with GJ isn’t just symbolic—it’s essential. High participation rates signal to donors, partners, and other stakeholders that GJ is a vibrant, active community. Their involvement helps solidify the foundation we’ve built and ensures we continue to thrive.

Together, we can transform GJ’s potential into meaningful results—building a stronger Jewish community and creating lasting change in the world.

We’d love to hear how you’d like to get involved. Feel free to email me anytime to get started.

Shabbat Shalom, and may this be the week the hostages return home.
