Congratulations! The last 2 years have been important for Polish🇵🇱-🇮🇱Israeli relations. We have proudly partnered w/ the Ambasada Izraela Embassy & HE Amb. Yacov Livne 🇮🇱 on many occasions - through culture, education, etc. Our contribution is primarily building Jewish life & future.

Int'l #WomensDay shouldn't be only about flowers & nice wishes - it should be first & foremost about standing up for women: our wives, partners, daughters, mothers, sisters, colleagues. Today, we want to thank all women who are the strength of JCC Krakow & help us grow every day.

March 1968 was a painful time for Poland’s Jews. It saw an intensified #antisemitic campaign that started a year earlier. Polish Jews were again vilified & scapegoated. At least 15K left Poland, being automatically stripped of 🇵🇱Polish citizenship.

A thought-provoking mtg w/ activists, journalists, academics who originally come from Afghanistan, Pakistan, & India and came to 🇵🇱 on a Sharaka - شراكة mission. They educate their audiences in Urdu, Pashto & Hindi, about Jewish history & 🇮🇱#Israel. Their work deserves appreciation.

Tikkun olam, or repairing the world, is a philosophy that motivates not only us, but also many people and NGOs. Let's help together those in need - there is no shortage of work. Read for yourself. ⬇️ tygodnikpowszechny.pl/pomoc-czyli-sz…
