Jewish Federations are horrified and outraged at the hate-filled antisemitic attacks in Amsterdam on November 7, in which anti-Israel mobs terrorized and beat Israelis and Jews trying to enjoy a soccer game. This modern-day pogrom, just two days before the anniversary of Kristallnacht, should make it clear that the entire world must act now to condemn and prosecute to the fullest all the perpetrators and take every necessary step to protect the Jewish community. We are in close contact with our partners in Israel and The Jewish Agency for Israel as we continue our commitment to the security of Jewish communities around the world.

Aqua Art Miami, which will take place during Art Basel, will feature internationally acclaimed Israeli artists, Natan Elkanovich, Yanai Navon and Roman Gulman. Wrote Venue Magazine of Elkanovich,"Developing his own 3D technique using pâtissier tools from piping bags and irons to mixers, Elkanovich’s bailiwick of textile application emanates throughout his artwork like a rhapsodic menagerie in a hyper-realistic fantasia of color and 3D illusionary opulence."
