She is a former Board Member at Jewish Family Service, where she has served as Vice President for Fund Development and Chair of the social enterprise and public policy committees. At The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, Zelikow was part of the Jews in Need committee and former chair of the health and human services committee, LA/Tel Aviv Partnership, and Hillcrest United Jewish Communities (UJC) campaign.

Zelikow observes, “Without rabbis, cantors, Jewish educators, and Jewish professionals, we can’t have strong Jewish institutions. The Jewish future all begins here. I also think it’s vitally important to have a West Coast presence. We’re the second biggest Jewish community in America. We deserve a bigger voice in the conversation.”
