AJC Atlanta’s Black/Jewish Teen Initiative will provide unique, experiential opportunities for Black and/or Jewish teenagers in metro Atlanta to engage in constructive dialogue, learn about each other’s communities, and take action to combat racism and antisemitism.

Project Understanding, a signature achievement of the Atlanta Black-Jewish Coalition, ensures that relationships between thought leaders and decision makers who identify as Black and/or Jewish continue to expand into Atlanta’s next generation.

On October 27, 2020, we were delighted to partner with the Consulate General of Slovakia in New York, to co-host The Life of Ludovit Feld, presented by Silvia Fishbaum, author of Dirty Jewess.

In this week's Shabbat Table, we ponder some of the most powerful verses in the Torah where God tells Abraham to leave his birthplace and become the father of a great nation. What can we learn from Abraham’s lonely and courageous journey? Then we pay tribute to a poet and a peacemaker. 137 years ago, Jewish poet Emma Lazarus composed “The New Colossus,” the verse inscribed on the Statute of Liberty that welcomed millions of immigrants seeking refuge in America. Then we recall the tragic circumstances behind the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, one of the architects of the controversial Oslo Accords, who was murdered 25 years ago this week. Lastly, we provide some talking points for discussing the rise of antisemitism in America.
