Agudath Israel applauds Speaker Mike Johnson Hakeem Jeffries for their leadership in House passage of unprecedented security funding for Israel and for domestic Nonprofit Security Grant Program. The aid will help protect Israel and American Jews from the real, lethal dangers they face.
Agudath Israel commends the White House for calling out “protests”at Columbia University and other universities exactly for what they are: blatant antisemitism. It is not free speech; it is not political expression; it is not academic freedom; and it is not the “voice of the oppressed.” It
Horrified by the antisemitism you are seeing on college campuses? Take action today. Ask your member of Congress to support the Antisemitism Awareness Act. Thank you Congressman Mike Lawler Rep Josh Gottheimer for cosponsoring this bipartisan bill! agudah.org/action-alert-s…
Agudath Israel commends Rep Josh Gottheimer Congressman Jared Golden and 24 other House Democrats for expressing concerns regarding Biden Administration decision to hold back weapons from Israel at this critical moment. Principled, compelling, and courageous. Kudos to all who signed on.
Agudath Israel honored to be at U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield reception honoring Jewish American Heritage. Tomorrow, at US urging, Security Council will hold first meeting since Oct 7 devoted solely to the hostages. Her message to hostages families: WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU!
Agudath Israel profoundly appreciates Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism Amb Lipstadt’s lending her strong voice to this issue and her office’s efforts to address it. We will continue to work with her and others to pursue the available pathways in this case for a just judgment and sentence.
Honored to be at WH for #JAHM and appreciated President Donald J. Trump strong words of support. But it was hard to celebrate with pall of war and antisemitism overhead. Then @SecondGentleman reminded us that, even in most troubled of times, Jews find a way to be joyful. That is truly our heritage.
Pleased that Avi Schnall , Agudath Israel’s Director of Federal Education Affairs, participated in Dept. of Agriculture panel discussion on kosher food insecurity. He emphasized achievements/challenges re providing kosher food in Jewish school-based nutrition programs for needy students. #Jahm
Agudath Israel applauds Kristen Clarke DOJ Civil Rights Division for vigorous prosecution of antisemitic hate crimes, including a series of violent assaults on Orthodox Jews in the Lakewood NJ area. We appreciate DOJ recognition of “unique vulnerabilities” facing the Orthodox community.
At WH: Honored to again see @SecondGentleman Emhoff, with whom I worked on National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism; and the iconic Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism Amb Lipstadt, with whom I worked on threats to European Jewish life. Both led unprecedented efforts to fight Jew-hatred at home/abroad.
