A Virtual Opportunity to Engage with Local Candidates

The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County and Temple Beth El of Boca Raton will host the 2024 Candidates Forum at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024. This virtual event provides an opportunity for the community to engage with candidates running for local, state, and federal offices in the upcoming election.

The forum will offer a platform for candidates to discuss critical issues facing both the state and nation, with a special focus on topics important to the Jewish community. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions, many of which are expected to revolve around Israel and local Jewish affairs.

This nonpartisan event aims to inform the Jewish community and the broader public, enabling them to make educated decisions at the polls. Candidates representing the South Palm Beach County catchment area have been invited to discuss their positions on key issues, ensuring voters have a thorough understanding of each candidate’s stance.

Event Details:

As this is a fully virtual event, there will be no in-person attendance or photo opportunities. This ensures that the forum remains accessible to all. The community is encouraged to save the date and participate actively.

Questions for the candidates can be submitted for consideration via email at [email protected]. For more details about the event, contact Marissa Trowbridge, Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council, at [email protected].
