@JFederations mourn alongside the community of the Islamic Center in San Diego following today’s horrific shooting. No one should ever fear for their safety while gathering in prayer, community, or worship. Our full statement: ow.ly/XKuq50Z1kPr

JCRC Bay Area is horrified and deeply saddened by the shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego. We unequivocally condemn this despicable act of violence and all acts of hate directed toward the Muslim community. Our hearts are with the victims and their families and the entire San Diego Muslim community, as well as our Bay Area Muslim neighbors during this painful time.

This work — from advocacy at the State House, to partnerships with schools, to coalition-building across communities, to ensuring Jewish communal concerns are understood by civic leaders — is essential. And your gift helps sustain it. Support us today: jcrcboston.org/donate.

Last night, our Legislative Reception brought together community leaders & elected officials to celebrate partnership, leadership, & the MA Special Commission on Combatting Antisemitism. As @MassGovernor reflected, “You really are the light in the darkness.”

We are especially excited to see @weitzmanmuseum's Stories That Shaped a Nation curriculum — which JCRC has helped bring to educators here in Greater Boston through webinars & school partnerships — now being made available to classrooms nationwide. (3/3)

Educators need credible tools that help students engage with complexity, especially at a time when conversations about Jewish identity & the American Jewish experience are often polarized or oversimplified. (2/3)

As Jewish American Heritage Month ramps up, this new resource hub, developed as a partnership between @theJCPA, @AFTunion & @weitzmanmuseum is an important example of what thoughtful education looks like. (1/3)

We at JCRC mourn the passing of Abe Foxman z”l, former director of @ADL. May his memory be a blessing. 🕯️

This marks meaningful progress in protecting immigrant families & strengthening communities across Massachusetts. We look forward to swift reconciliation & the governor signing this bill. 🔗More info: pro.stateaffairs.com/ma/legislature… (2/2)

📢 COMMUNITY UPDATE 📢 We welcome the Senate’s vote to pass critical immigrant protections. Thank you Senate President Spilka, Ways & Means Chair @SenRodrigues, and all Senate members who worked to pass this legislation. (1/2)

Thanks to @ADL_NewEngland for your work on this audit. Even w/ an overall drop in antisemitic incidents, MA saw the highest number of K-12 incidents in the region. This data is a reminder of how important & urgent it is to implement MA's Special Commission recommendations.

We join @theJCPA in reaffirming our commitment to an inclusive American democracy and the voting rights protections that generations of civil rights advocates fought to secure. 📢Urge Congress to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act: jewishpublicaffairs.org/louisiana-v-ca…

Thank you @MassGovernor for all that you do to make sure that Jewish Bay Staters know that we belong here. #JAHM

We’re catching up on the stories & events that had us talking — from Boston to Israel & beyond. We’ll look at what stood out, the questions these moments raised, & why they matter to us as a Jewish community. 🎧Now on YouTube, Spotify, & Apple Podcasts: youtu.be/gJDoPHeFy3k

We're appreciative to learn the steps taken by the administration toward implementation of the report, and look forward to partnering with them, our members, and other community partners in this continued work.

We're grateful to @MassGovernor @MassLtGov & our state leaders for their commitment to a Commonwealth where the Jewish community & all vulnerable communities belong & are safe.

Today, JCRC organized a meeting with @MassLtGov and her team to bring members of our network representing JCRC, @AJCGlobal, @ADL_NewEngland and @CJPBoston to discuss the implementation of the Special Commission on Combatting Antisemitism’s final report.
