Shana tovah! It\u2019s been a busy first week of the new year here at JCPA:<\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to share a new article in Haaretz on the \u201cAmerican women shaking up the Jewish old boys\u2019 club<\/a>\u201d \u2013 featuring our own CEO Amy Spitalnick.<\/p>\n

Amy\u2019s hiring, per Haaretz, is \u201cthe latest instance of a young woman taking the reins of a key Jewish institution and helping steer the community, often bogged down by leadership abiding by an \u2018old boy network\u2019 mentality, into a more diverse and inclusive environment that better reflects the community itself.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

And as Amy notes in the article<\/a>, this is all the more crucial at a moment of rising anti-democratic extremism because \u201cJewish safety is deeply entangled with the safety of so many other communities and the vibrancy and health of our democracy.\u201d<\/strong> JCPA\u2019s work is fundamentally rooted in that recognition.<\/p>\n

To that end, JCPA spoke out this week in response to comments by both former President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu during Rosh Hashanah, which attacked Jews who vote or peacefully protest against them as enemies of the U.S. and Israel.<\/p>\n

Former President Trump\u2019s claim that Jews who vote against him are \u201cdestroying\u201d the U.S. and Israel follows a long history of antisemitic comments smearing the majority of Jewish Americans as \u201cdisloyal.\u201d JCPA\u2019s response was highlighted this week in the Washington Post<\/a>, USA Today<\/a>, CNN<\/a>, and a number of other outlets.<\/p>\n

And Prime Minister Netanyahu\u2019s comments Sunday equating Jewish, pro-Israel, pro-democracy protesters with Iran and the PLO was wrong enough on its own \u2013 and, sadly, made more dangerous by the Prime Minister\u2019s embrace of Elon Musk, just one day after Musk yet again promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories. Read more in the Forward<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, the New York Daily News featured an op-ed<\/a> from Amy on the mayor\u2019s recent comments that asylum seekers will \u201cdestroy\u201d New York City \u2013 comments that were celebrated by avowed neo-Nazis. As Amy writes, the mayor and all our leaders have a fundamental responsibility not to give license to hate.<\/p>\n

We know that the fight for inclusive democracy is our fight as American Jews \u2013 and our safety, our future, and our values obligate us to make that clear.<\/strong> That\u2019s precisely what we\u2019ll continue to do at JCPA.<\/p>\n

Wishing you an easy fast \u2013 g\u2019mar chatima tovah<\/em> \u2013 and a happy, healthy, and more just 5784,<\/p>\n
