AJC Cincinnati

Global Jewish Advocacy in the Queen City

AJC Cincinnati connects our community with American Jewish Committee’s nonpartisan, global advocacy work. Our access to high-level decision makers at the local level enhances AJC’s broader engagement priorities throughout the world: countering antisemitism and the spread of radical extremism, opening doors to and for Israel, and advancing democratic values.

Our impact extends well beyond the Cincinnati community, helping AJC achieve tangible results in the form of government policies, formidable alliances, transnational collaborations, and community education that help shape a more dignified and peaceful future.

AJC Cincinnati engages in sustained advocacy with local and national government officials, honors civic leaders and social change-makers, organizes substantive public programming such as our annual Community Intergroup Seder, and develops long-standing relationships with many faith, ethnic and international communities.

We invite you to follow along and join the AJC Cincinnati regional office network for our yearly programs and gatherings by signing up for our monthly e-newsletter. If you’re interested in hosting AJC Cincinnati for a training on antisemitism and its implications on society and democracy, please reach out to our office.

AJC Cincinnati

AJC stands as the preeminent global advocate for the Jewish people, championing a world where extremism finds no refuge, human rights are upheld, and democratic values flourish. Collaborating with leaders from all walks of life, AJC remains steadfast in its commitment to leverage its global prowess for local impact, as well as advancing the shared principles and priorities that bind Jews and their allies.

Julie and Steve have been a force of nature in their community. Upon arriving in Cincinnati, they immediately plunged into community service, joining the AJC board during a significant family milestone—the birth of their first son. Over three decades, their leadership has graced organizations such as United Way, Last Mile Food Rescue, Talbert House, Jewish Federation, Teach for America, Playhouse, Cincinnati Ballet, and many more, each time leaving an indelible mark of progress and innovation.

Sarah and Tim’s unwavering dedication to community service shines brightly through their tireless efforts in volunteering to advance the arts, youth education, and economic mobility. As we commend their remarkable achievements and leadership in the business and Catholic community, we recognize the profound significance of this juncture in history for the Jewish community and acknowledge Tim and Sarah’s heartfelt support during these moments.
