Today, at a meeting of the Knesset Caucus to Promote the Israel-United States Relationship, Jewish Federations of North America's Rebecca Caspi gave a presentation on the central role of #JewishFederations in strengthening this relationship, highlighting the community’s efforts since Oct. 7.

Anti-Israel delegates at this year's National Education Association Representative Assembly are trying to advance a series of lopsided and antisemitic education policies that would affect schools across our nation. Teachers are expected to educate our children so they grow up to be smart, kind and thoughtful. If these anti-Israel items pass, they will instead be taught antisemitism, hate, and propaganda. Jewish Federations of North America are working closely with the NEA Jewish Affairs Caucus to ensure that these divisive and horrible resolutions do not advance. While the NEA’s Representative Assembly--and the troubling resolutions--are currently on hold, we are closely monitoring the situation and will remain steadfast to ensure the Caucus has every resource they need to stop this hate-filled agenda.
