I’m saddened to share that last night Am Yisrael has lost one of our most important friends. Senator Lindsey Graham (1955–2026) was a steadfast champion of Israel, a courageous voice against antisemitism, and an unwavering defender of the U.S.–Israel alliance. His friendship, leadership, and commitment to the Jewish people will be long remembered. May his memory be a blessing.

Happy July 4th 🇺🇸
Jewish Heritage Alliance is pleased to share the early announcement of our upcoming America 250 national program:
Sephardic Jews and the Making of Early America
👉 https://jewishheritagealliance.com/from-exile-to-freedom-sephardic-jews-and-the-making-of-america/
📅 July 26, 2026 | 1:00 PM ET
This program explores the remarkable role Sephardic Jews played in the early history of the United States and their contribution to the foundations of American religious liberty. Through leading scholars in early American Jewish history, constitutional law, and colonial studies, the program examines how a community seeking religious freedom helped shape the principles of liberty, tolerance, and equal citizenship at the heart of the American experiment.
We are currently engaging in finding co-sponsors and co-hosting partners as we build this America 250 initiative.
Please feel free to share with anyone who may be interested.

PART III: Messianism and Sephardic Hope in the New World
What happens when hope becomes a movement?
In a world shaped by exile, resilience, and reinvention, Sephardic communities didn’t just rebuild their lives—they reimagined their future.
From the visionary efforts of Menasseh ben Israel to the wave of global anticipation surrounding Shabtai Zvi, this chapter explores a powerful moment in history where faith, trauma, and possibility collided.
✨ How did messianic belief spread across continents?✨ What role did it play in healing—and disrupting—Jewish communities?✨ And what does this reveal about the human need for hope in uncertain times?
This is more than history. It’s a story of imagination, survival, and the search for meaning.

In preparation for Passover, this past Shabbat, we read the stirring words of the prophet Malachi: “Return to Me, and I will return to you” — reminding us that Jewish history is not only something we remember… it is something we are still living.

Passover teaches that freedom is not only about leaving Egypt — it is about reclaiming identity, and rediscovering who we are, and returning to our destiny as a people.

Today, that story is unfolding once again. Across the world, millions of descendants of Jews—Anusim, Conversos—whose families were forced to hide their heritage centuries ago, are awakening and seeking to reconnect with their Jewish roots.

The Converso Online Community Initiative (https://jewishheritagealliance.com/the-converso-online-initiative/), developed by Jewish Heritage Alliance, is a groundbreaking platform guiding this return — providing education, connection, and a pathway back to the Jewish People, to Sefarad, and to Israel. In an era of rising antisemitism, this initiative not only restores identity but also builds informed, committed allies while strengthening our collective voice in defending Israel and Jews worldwide.

This is a calling…a historic moment of return.

This Passover, I invite you to join in this sacred work.
