CAM Coalition Spotlight: Standing in Solidarity With Jews Under Threat and Inspiring Future Generations

  • September 1, 2022
Share Tweet Share Follow Follow Email Print

The disturbing headlines from France this week are a stark reminder of the global need to protect and secure the Jewish people. Hope is not lost, the CAM partner coalition is hosting cultural heritage nights at sporting events, celebrating the anniversary of the First Zionist Congress, and running summer camps for European Jewry. With September upon us, the coalition is planning a number of cultural events about the Jewish South, a Jewish love story, and a short fiction contest.

Here is a sampling of how the coalition made a difference this week:

 

Spotlight

Le Crif: A young Jewish man, Eyal Hadad, was murdered in France, and media reports say his assailant has admitted to an antisemitic motive. CAM supports Le Crif’s call for a full investigation into the case and stands in solidarity with the French Jewish community.

Upcoming Events

Melton: “Shalom Y’all: Jewish History & Identity in the American South” is a three-part class on Thursdays in September that will introduce students to the deep roots and regional features of Southern Jewish life, with a focus on Savannah and Charleston. This learning adventure will take a deep dive into three key areas of Southern Jewish life: settlement, Civil War, and Civil Rights.

Register here.

 

The American Sephardi Federation and the Sephardic Jewish Brotherhood of America: Arrivals is a Jewish Romeo & Juliet love story based on historical events, it was a hit in Seattle, Washington, and is debuting at the Center for Jewish History in New York City on October 30, 2022.

American Hellenic Institute: The 7th Annual Greek Heritage Night will take place on September 7 at the Philadelphia Phillies stadium. With Ambassador of the Hellenic Republic to the US Alexandra Papadopoulou throwing the Ceremonial First Pitch and Greek Folk Dance performances before the game, AHI hopes to share Greek culture with all who wish to attend.

Partner Achievements 

Honest Reporting: With BBC News having a history of publishing antisemitic reports, Honest Reporting published an article calling that the UK-based media outlet ensures all employees follow the “code of conduct” about Jews. Journalists who have publicly expressed Jew hatred on their social media accounts and presented reports from an antisemitic angle should be held accountable.

Students Supporting Israel (SSI): This year’s annual World Zionist Organization-hosted conference in Basel, Switzerland, marks the 125th anniversary of the First Zionist Congress. President and Founder of SSI Ilan Sinelnikov attended the conference representing the organization, and he spoke about the importance of grassroots advocacy among Zionist students on college campuses.

 

Recommended Readings and Viewings
