Learn About JCRC’s Important Work Through Its Newsletter

During a time of alarming antisemitism and anti-Israel activities, Federation’s Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) works year-round to advocate on behalf of the Jewish community and build bridges with others. As the latest edition of its quarterly newsletter, The Activist, clearly demonstrates, JCRC is making an impact in Miami, in Washington, DC and beyond. JCRC professionals and volunteers work tirelessly to promote important legislation, celebrate commonalities with members of diverse groups and share in the celebration of Jewish culture and history. In his newsletter greeting, JCRC Chair Steven Scheck writes, “I’m incredibly proud of the work we are doing. These relationships are essential to combating antisemitism, fostering mutual understanding and ensuring the Jewish community has trusted civic and faith partners when challenges arise.” Click here to read the newsletter and learn about today’s Juneteenth celebration.
