Stitch to Make a Change with Next Chapter
Monday, March 3
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm (EST)
Schmooze, knit, and crochet with other Next Chapter (55+) needlework enthusiasts! For this Mitzvah of the Moment, we’re coming together to create blankets and hats for children in the pediatric unit and we need your help.
This is a wonderful opportunity to:
- Give back to the community by providing warmth and comfort to young patients.
- Meet like-minded individuals who share your passion for crafting and doing good.
- Make a difference with every stitch while connecting with others who care.
- Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just getting started, all skill levels are welcome. Together, we can bring comfort and smiles to those in need.
Space is limited—register now!

Security at Federation Events
The Gloria and Jesse Weissberg Community Security Initiative (CSI) is coordinating all security with local, county, and state law enforcement. At every Federation event, all available resources are utilized to ensure your safety. Important items of note:
- Bag policy: Backpacks, luggage, and large purses are not permitted at events. We encourage you not to bring a bag, if possible, or to bring a very small bag. All bags may be subject to search.
- Additional security measures: Additional security procedures may be implemented (e.g. metal detectors) as needed.
- Social media protocol: We ask you not to share the location of a Federation event prior to or during the event and to refrain from posting about a Federation activity until after it has ended, and the site is clear of attendees.
Building an inclusive community is a priority. Please email [email protected] to let us know if you require an accommodation to meaningfully participate in an event. One of our Federation professionals will reach out to you to learn more.
