Being part of CJA means you’re not just watching what’s happening in Chicago’s Jewish community.

You’re in it.

In the rooms where decisions get made
In the conversations that shape what comes next
Alongside people who actually show up when it matters

If you’ve been looking for a way to be more involved, this is it.

Over the past few months, the reality has been pretty clear.

There have been attacks. Threats. Situations that could have been much worse if people weren’t paying attention.

Staying safe takes real coordination, real resources, and constant effort behind the scenes.

It’s not something most people see, but it’s happening every day.

If you’re looking for a concrete way to support the Jewish community in Chicago, this is one of them.

Help protect Jewish Chicago.

It’s showing up when something actually happens.
Helping when someone needs it.
Speaking up when it counts.

That’s what we do.

Most events try to impress you.

This one told the truth.

Tonight’s Chicago Jewish Alliance members gathering was smaller than usual. No crowd. No performance. Just people, coffee, and a room honest enough for real conversation.

And once people started speaking, something shifted.

Not “woe is me.” Not talking points. Real stories. Real reasons for being there. The kind you only share when you trust the room.

What followed wasn’t just empathy. It was connection.

Strangers became friends. Allies showed up and meant it. And without anyone announcing it, you could feel something rebuilding. Quietly. Steadily.

We talk about “community” like it’s a button you press. Like, comment, join a group, move on.

It isn’t.

Community is physical. It is presence. It is eye contact. It is the quiet courage of showing up and the even rarer courage of staying.

You can’t outsource that to a screen.

If you felt something reading this, it’s because you know the difference.

Antisemitism doesn’t disappear when it’s ignored.
It gets louder.

Know how to respond.
And know when to walk away.

CJA President Susan Haggard sat down with NBC Chicago to discuss Project Ahava and its mission to provide safe, affordable housing for Holocaust survivor Sami Steigmann.

Honor Yom HaShoah by taking action. Support Holocaust survivors like Sami.

She’s stepping down.

A Deerfield High School teacher crossed serious lines, pushing anti-Israel rhetoric through her role and directing students to personal social media with explicit content.

No real discipline.
A weak lawsuit.
Taxpayer-funded settlement.

Then silence.

Now, she’s resigning.

The Chicago Jewish Alliance showed up, spoke out, and kept the pressure on when it wasn’t easy.

Accountability doesn’t happen by accident.

Yom HaShoah is a day of remembrance.

We remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust—
a genocide defined by intent, system, and annihilation.

The term itself was introduced by Raphael Lemkin to describe exactly that: the destruction of a people.

Today, the word “genocide” is often used loosely—stripped of its definition and applied without precision.

That misuse is not harmless.
It distorts reality, fuels misinformation, and diminishes the gravity of real genocides—including the Holocaust.

Remembering is not just about looking back.
It’s about protecting the meaning of what happened.

On Yom HaShoah, we remember.
And we show up for those still here.

Sami Steigmann is a Holocaust survivor who needs safe housing.

Honor the memory of those we lost by helping someone still with us.
