FAQ's

How do I enter an event on the calendar?

You must have a user profile and be logged-in on the site to post an event. Once you are logged-in go to the main calendar page www.jewishfed.org/calendar and click on the Submit an Event button. Then just fill out your event's details in the form that appears on your screen. You can also watch a video tutorial on posting an event to the calendar, which will take you through the whole process, or read the written instructions.

I entered an event on the calendar. Why isn't it showing up?

Events are reviewed and approved by JCF staff before being posted, and usually go live within 1-2 business days. If you work for one of our community beneficiary agencies you can email the webmaster and ask for permission to post directly to the calendar without moderation.

For a tutorial on how to post an event to the calendar, please watch this video.

Can I still visit the old website?

While we no longer update the old site, we understand there is still content there that people may want to see. Only the old home page and a few select pages re-direct you automatically. You can still use an old URL if you have one, or go to an archived version of the old homepage (no longer updated).

Great site - who built it and what platform is it on?

Thanks! The site was designed by our Marketing team with web development experts at Halosys, a Santa Clara based web consultancy. We build it on a free open-source content management platform called Drupal, which is a highly flexible system for publishing, managing, and customizing content on a website.
