Join the Jewish Community Relations Council for our fourth annual Jewish Day of Action on February 19, 2026. Beginning at 8:30 AM in the Capitol rotunda, meet with legislators and their staff to discuss issues facing the Jewish community. Getting to know our legislators is vital, as many have no Jews in their district. Our Jewish Day of Action gives them the opportunity to ask questions and learn about our faith and concerns. A kosher lunch with legislators and staff will follow at 12:00 PM at Peetz & Company. After lunch, you are invited to return to the Capitol to attend hearings of interest or take a tour of our magnificent Nebraska State Capitol building.
Once again, we will be joined by students from Friedel Jewish Academy! Students will learn about the legislative process, engage with legislators, and understand the importance of advocating for issues that matter to them. We are thankful for this partnership with Friedel and look forward to seeing the students in action!
Whether you are new to advocacy or looking to strengthen your skills, we will be presenting Advocacy Boot Camp Brown Bag Lunch and Learn on Tuesday, February 17, from 12 NOON – 1:00 PM, in the Wiesman Room of the Staenberg JCC. In addition to learning about the issues we will be discussing with our state senators, the training provides practical guidance on communicating with elected officials, understanding the legislative process, and representing community priorities with confidence and clarity.
RSVP for Jewish Day of Action and Advocacy Boot Camp here by February 13
