A Message from Nomi Colton-Max -- NEW Vice-President of Programming, AZM

It was through my work with people on the left, center and the right that I was the consensus choice of the AZM’s nomination committee and it was my work on committees that enabled me defeat a right wing candidate who was nominated from the floor.

PROJECT ROZANA - WHEELS OF HOPE CAMPAIGN
|
Our sister organization, Project Rozana, is wrapping up an international campaign for their Wheels of Hope initiative which every day transports scores of seriously ill Palestinian children free of charge from their homes in the West Bank and Gaza to hospitals in Israel and East Jerusalem, with the support of a network of Israeli and Palestinian volunteer drivers. Two weeks ago, they held an inspiring online North American interfaith event with a wide range of speakers including faith leaders, politicians and representatives from the region.
