Widely regarded as one of the most notable Jewish figures of the past century, Natan Sharansky’s name was a rallying cry for the Soviet Jewry movement. Jailed for his human rights activism and efforts to immigrate to Israel, Sharansky spent nine indescribably difficult years in the Soviet Gulag. He was released in 1986 and went on to serve as a minister in several Israeli governments, as Deputy Prime Minister of Israel, and—most recently—as Chairman of The Jewish Agency for Israel. Sharansky is the only living non-American to have received both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. He was honored by AJC in 1987, one year after his release from the Gulag and a few hours after he addressed Freedom Sunday for Soviet Jewry, the historic rally in Washington organized by AJC’s David Harris. Join us for a wide-ranging conversation with this human rights icon and Jewish hero.

La pandemia del Covid-19 llegó tarde a América Latina en relación a Estados Unidos y Europa. Las reacciones y el manejo de las crisis derivadas ha variado país por país con diferenciados grados de efectividad. Durante esta conversación, destacados observadores de la realidad regional analizarán el impacto y las implicaciones de la coronacrisis en la dinámica latinoamericana y posibles escenarios a corto y mediano plazo. ¿Qué cambios podemos esperar? ¿Qué hemos aprendido? ¿Qué no podremos recuperar? ¿Cuáles serán las tendencias políticas y socio-económicas cuando la crisis de salud pública se haya superado?

Jewish students are often among the most politically-engaged students on college campuses. Especially in this presidential election year, many students will get involved with presidential, congressional, or even local campaigns, canvassing their neighborhoods, phone banking, or even working full-time in politics. But what does fighting for your political beliefs and values look like now, when politics must be done from a distance? And where do the U.S.’s two major political parties stand on issues that are important to Jewish students?
In this AJC Campus Crash Course webinar, students will hear directly from the top campus leadership of the Democratic and Republican parties. Mikaela Guido, President of College Democrats of America, and Chandler Thornton, Chairman of the College Republican National Committee, will share their parties’ views on a range of issues important to students: from student loan debt, to antisemitism on college campuses, to the future of the U.S.-Israel relationship. Join Mikaela and Chandler and learn how YOU can make a difference at this critical moment.
