The opening of the 2026 legislative session in the Virginia General Assembly takes place in January. In anticipation, the Jewish Community Relations Council is preparing for one of its most impactful annual gatherings: Virginia Jewish Advocacy Day on Tuesday, February 10, in Richmond.
Virginia Jewish Advocacy Day is a day for action, connection, and civic engagement, bringing together members of the Jewish community from across the Commonwealth to meet with legislators and advocate on important issues. From advocating for security funding for synagogues to combating antisemitism and supporting social services, participation from the community ensures a meaningful impact. By coming together, the Jewish community amplifies its collective voice with policymakers, making sure that issues affecting both the community and the broader society receive attention.
Spearheaded by United Jewish Federation of Tidewater’s JCRC, Virginia Jewish Advocacy Day reflects the community’s commitment to building relationships with policymakers.
