The Philadelphia/Southern New Jersey Chapter of AJC is working with many communities, building understanding and advocating together in areas of mutual concern and interest. These include the African American, Latino, German, Polish, Muslim, Ukrainian, Evangelical, Presbyterian, Methodist, and Catholic communities. We are also focusing on issues of the environment and independence from foreign oil as a necessity for the protection of Israel, as well as concentrating on Jewish continuity and the future of our faith through a close look at interfaith relationships and how to incorporate interfaith families into the Jewish community.
