participating organization will 
have its own page and maintain 
individual relationships with its 
customers. 
For those concerned about data 
security, Weisman provides the 
reassurance, “We take data and 
privacy very seriously. We can be 
sure that it’s not sold or shared.” 
Kaufman points out that Jlife’s 
development team includes 
Israeli partners with cyber 
security expertise. Participating 
organizations will be able to receive 
anonymized data to help them plan 
their programming.

ELIGIBILITY FOR JLIFE
Local nonprofit Jewish organizations 
and congregations are eligible to 
include their events on the Jlife 

platform at no charge. Interested 
groups should contact Julie Yaker 
by email — Julie@Jlife.app. A 
marketing campaign, including 
Federation and JCC contacts, as 
well as targeted social media ads, 
will introduce Jlife to the local 
Jewish community. Through Jlife, 
individuals will be able to find 
events and programs by age group, 
interest or sponsoring organization. 
Participation will be free for 
participating organizations and 
individuals.
By helping individuals easily 
connect with Jewish organizations 
and activities, Kaufman believes 
that Jlife could be transformative 
for Jewish identity. This fall, Jlife 
organizers plan to expand the 
platform nationally. 

“IT HELPS JEWISH PEOPLE 
DO MORE JEWISH THINGS”
