2025 KickOff Event Recap
On Tuesday, September 24, 2024, we gathered for the biggest party of the year to celebrate Jewish Buffalo and two extraordinary leaders who have made a significant impact. The evening began with cocktails and food stations. We then moved into the main stage theatre for a 45-minute program honoring Marni Marciano and Hadar Borden, listened to powerful impact stories, and celebrated a new direction for the Buffalo Jewish Federation. The after-party was filled with more cocktails, desserts, and music back in the atrium. If you missed schmoozing with 500 of your closest friends (and making new friends) our 2026 kickoff event will be held on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.

The program concluded with a moving documentary film, created by Jewish Buffalonian Brenda Feldstein, highlighting stories of three unique transformational “moments”. Moments where the Buffalo Jewish Federation …. our people, our projects, our vehicles for giving … transformed lives.
