This week, Capitol Hill gave American Jewish Committee
(AJC) reasons to hope with the introduction of bipartisan bills to
better track hate crimes in the U.S. and antisemitic rhetoric in
Palestinian textbooks. Growing cooperation between Israel and United
Arab Emirates also inspired hope for Middle East peace. And we look
forward to joining the people of Israel in celebrating the
country's 73rd birthday next week!

instantly. Their four-year friendship helped Reich understand what
happened to his parents who never spoke of the Shoah and led to his
latest book The Art of Inventing Hope. LISTEN NOW

[link removed]

JTA | 2-minute read

The man known as the last Jew in Afghanistan for
more than a decade has decided to join his wife and daughters in
Israel, fearing that the U.S. military's plans to withdraw from
the country will put him at risk. His announcement came a week after
the departure of some of the last remaining Jews in Yemen.

AJC CEO David Harris tweeted: "Two more ancient & venerable
Jewish communities in Middle East are gone. This time, it's
Afghanistan & Yemen. Earlier, it was Iraq & Syria, Egypt & Libya,
Algeria & Sudan... The Jews were driven out by persecution &
intolerance. The world's reaction? Muted, to say the

University of Pennsylvania Refuses to Move
Graduation

[link removed]

The Forward | 2-minute read

The University of Pennsylvania has refused to
reschedule a 2022 commencement ceremony that falls on Shavuot, a
Jewish holiday that celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai,
effectively barring observant Jewish students from participating. In
more promising campus news, student senators at University of Notre
Dame adopted the Working Definition of Antisemitism developed by the
International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.

AJC responds: "Unacceptable. University of Pennsylvania, forcing
Orthodox Jewish students to choose between religious observance and
celebrating their graduation is both unfair and discriminatory. The
university must accommodate its observant graduates."
