What a powerful evening of learning, dialogue, and action at our Antisemitism Summit last night.

Thank you to Temple Shaaray Tefila of Westchester for being such a wonderful host, to our outstanding speakers—Myra Clark-Siegel, Regional Director of AJC Westchester/Fairfield and Scott Richman, Regional Director of ADL New York/New Jersey—and to our incredible partners—Congregation B’nai Yisrael, Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester, Bet Torah, Mount Kisco Hebrew Congregation, ADL, and the Westchester Jewish Council—for making this important conversation possible.

Special thanks to News 12’s Tara Rosenblum for expertly moderating a thoughtful and impactful discussion. We truly appreciate your support and participation in this conversation. Together, we are educating, empowering, and standing united against antisemitism.

AJC Global Forum 2026 is now officially in the books!

With more than 80 lay leaders from AJC Westchester/Fairfield, we were joined by 2000+ leaders, activists, diplomats, and policymakers, from over 70 countries, for three transformative days of learning, advocacy, and connection.

Alongside productive meetings on Capitol Hill, this experience strengthened our commitment to helping ensure Jewish communities are safe and thriving, and that Israel’s place in the world remains secure.

Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky were young, vibrant members of our community, dedicated to building bridges between Israelis and Palestinians and making the world a better place.

One year ago, their lives were stolen in a horrific act of violence, a devastating reminder of where unchecked antisemitic incitement can lead.

We will continue to honor Sarah and Yaron's legacy by standing up, speaking out, and refusing to be silent in the face of hate. May their memories forever be a blessing.
