Bigotry takes many forms. As Jews we have experienced it for centuries. America's recent awakening around systemic problems faced by People of Color has mobilized us to actively address issues relating to racial justice and equity, both in our Jewish communities and in broader society. ​​

As we go into Shabbat, we are saddened by the news of a terror attack in today. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.

The Jewish Federations of North America are horrified and appalled by the murder of at least seven people in a terrorist attack in a Jerusalem synagogue. 78 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, on the day the world commemorates the atrocity of the Holocaust, it is unbearable that Jews are still being murdered simply for being Jews.
