In General

Every state and many cities have a Semiquincentennial Commissions that plan events to celebrate America’s 250th. Step one is to sign up to their newsletters, add your initiative to their lists and perhaps get recognition and funding.

While the overarching theme of the Semiquincentennial is the American Revolution, every state and community adds their own touch and emphasis. This framework allows the Jewish community to add its story as a major contributor to the success of America, and to tell the American public about its legacy.

We Can Help

Our experienced team can educate your community and organization about the history of jubilee celebrations and the importance of the 250th celebration. We will help you craft a meaningful strategy for this once-in-a-jubilee opportunity.

National Organizations

All 50 states, and many counties, cities and local communities, have a commission to prepare for the 250th celebrations. Our goal is to replicate this structure within the Jewish community to prepare for community-wide celebrations and commemoration that would lead to our desired impact.

Federations and JCRCs

There are two federal entities, 50 state commissions and numerous local groups who are in charge of organizing the 250 celebrations. Hence, the task of introducing the Jewish American story and of participating in the celebrations in a distinctly Jewish way that is also connected to Israel may seem daunting.

Our team has already contacted the federal and some state commissions and engaged some of their key members. We look forward to sharing this knowledge with you, so you can build your own plan for the SQC to ensure that the local Jewish community is adequately represented and properly participates in the celebrations.
