On Tuesday, #BlackJewishUnity Week, brought to you by
AJC and the National Urban League, begins! You can join this national
initiative to strengthen ties between our nation's Black and
Jewish communities and combat all forms of hate by taking part in the
events listed below, sharing the hashtag on social media (click here
to apply the Facebook frame to your profile picture), learning more
about Black and Jewish communities and their long history of
cooperation, and taking action to combat hate crimes by urging
Congress to pass the NO HATE Act. For more information about these and
other #BlackJewishUnity Week initiatives, including a moving prayer
