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, re

spectful, 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.

Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth as we honor freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice and equality.

At last Sunday's Rekindle meeting, we joined together in wishing our cohort a Happy Juneteenth and reflecting on the significance of this important day in American history.

The history and struggles of the Black and Jewish communities in America are intertwined, and so is our commitment to a just world that is free of hate. Together, we can more effectively confront today’s challenges and advance our common goals.

Mazel tov to former Nebraska Supreme Court Justice Lindsey Miller-Lerman, whose portrait was unveiled in the Lawyers Room last week. Featured in our slideshow, Justice Miller-Lerman made history as Nebraska’s first woman Supreme Court justice. We celebrate her remarkable legacy and lasting impact on our state.

A woman's flair has entered the history-filled "Lawyers Room" at the Nebraska State Capitol building in Lincoln.

We stand with our colleagues across the country and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs in raising concerns about the administration's plan to move the Office for Civil Rights out of the Department of Education.

Protecting students means strengthening the systems that safeguard their rights, not weakening them.

Dismantling the Department of Education and weakening the Office for Civil Rights doesn't make Jewish students safer — it leaves all students more vulnerable to discrimination and undermines key civil rights protections.

Thank you, Pope Leo XIV, for reaffirming the Catholic Church’s commitment to combating antisemitism and for recognizing the shared values that unite Jewish and Catholic communities.

From the 'National Catholic Register:' Pope Leo XIV speaking to leaders of the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of New York called for continued partnership in fighting discrimination and serving those in need. The remarks build on the legacy of Nostra Aetate, which transformed Catholic-Jewish relations: https://www.ncregister.com/cna/pope-leo-xiv-catholics-and-jews-must-work-together-to-fight-antisemtism

The pontiff addressed representatives of the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of New York on June 15.

Thank you Congressman Don Bacon for co-sponsoring the House version of the Jewish American Security Act and standing with the Jewish community at a critical moment.
