Jewish Community Relations Council - Omaha As a program of Jewish Federation of Omaha/Jewish Community Relations Council, this Clean Speech Facebook (Instagram) page is safe, welcoming places for all.

The JCRC is dedicated to working in common cause to enhance cooperation with other religious, racial, ethnic, and civic groups to foster a just, democratic and pluralistic society as well as promote the security of Israel and Jews everywhere. Clean Speech Nebraska is a community-wide education and awareness campaign to unite us in the practice of Jewish mindful speech, to build a more positive, respectful, and peaceful world and our page is a model of these values and behaviors. While we cherish and encourage a healthy debate and the exercise of our freedom of speech, anything we at the JFO determine to be disrespectful or abusive, such as language, hateful rhetoric, inappropriate pictures or video or spam*, will be deleted. We define spam as posts with links that could cause harm to the person who click on it, such as link that allows a hack of a Facebook account. To address this concern, no links are allowed in comments or replies to comments on our page posts. Links are allowed on the wall. Spam is also blatant advertisements for products that have nothing to do with our community, our community members, topics posted on our wall or comments. Your comments are part of our collective dialogue. Advertisements or repeat posts constitute spam and will be removed in accordance with these rules. The Jewish Federation of Omaha uses page Moderation and Profanity Filter to help moderate the page. Page moderation hides comments from the public. The comments remain visible and accessible to the person who submitted the comments and his or her friends. We also maintain the consequent right to block any person or organization that is continually disruptive to our social platforms and community. While we invite you to participate and to share, the opinions and comments that you or others share belong solely to the person posting, and do not reflect either the opinions or beliefs of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. We reserve the right to use any pictures, comments, wall posts, links, video, etc. shared with us here on Facebook on other platforms such as in a news broadcast or online. We reserve the right, without explanation, to delete comments and/or block fans based on the following:
1. Inappropriate, obscene or profane comments, links, images or videos. All images and memes.
2. Posts attacking, abusing or harassing community members
3. Threats against any person, organization or company
4. Spam, advertisements or posts deemed off-topic
6. Not sticking to the topic post.
7. False comments or claims about the Jewish Federation of Omaha.
8. Engaging in abusive behavior, written or physical against other Facebook posters, or using unacceptable language in public posts, or in any way engaging in an unacceptable manner on our page.

benefits from partnerships with Israel through agriculture, water technology, research, education, entrepreneurship, and innovation, while Nebraska also brings its own expertise and resources to the relationship. Collaboration creates opportunities for both to prosper.

: Nebraska beef is one of the clearest success stories.

Nebraska is the largest foreign importer of kosher beef to Israel. “In 2024 alone, Nebraska exported approximately $13.5 million in beef products to Israel, and Nebraska accounts for more than 99% of U.S. beef exports to that market. Through July 2025, Nebraska beef exports to Israel were running 27% above the same period the previous year.” https://governor.nebraska.gov/gov-pillen-lead-trade-mission-israel?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Follow along as we share one fact each Friday about how Nebraska and Israel benefit from working together.
