Friends of JCADA is a community engagement initiative that strives to lower the tolerance for abuse in our community by uplifting the voices of survivors and field professionals. Our goal is to normalize the conversation about intimate partner violence (IPV), commonly known as domestic violence, which in turn empowers survivors to seek support and ensures that we have the knowledge to foster healthy relationships.
All who donate $180 or more to JCADA annually, will be invited to join Friends of JCADA. With membership, you gain access to a series of virtual speaking events throughout the year while ensuring that JCADA has the necessary resources to continue to serve survivors and the local Jewish community.​

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) and JCADA encourages you to host a Purple Shabbat to heighten awareness of this pervasive issue. Hosting a Purple Shabbat signals that your community supports survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), reinforces that abuse will not be tolerated, and normalizes conversations about healthy and unhealthy relationship behaviors. Additionally, you are helping ensure that your constituents have access to JCADA’s life-saving services and resources so everyone can live safe and empowered lives.
For JCADA's 25th Anniversary in the year 2025, our goal is for 25 congregations and communities in the DMV to participate in Purple Shabbat! Join us on October 10-11, 2025 in acknowledging Purple Shabbat in your congregation/community!
