As the world watches Israel and Arab nations take the historic step of formalizing peace agreements between governments, significant questions remain to create long-term relations between the Israeli and Arab public. Join AJC for a private discussion with Mohammed Rachid, Director of the Institutional Affairs at Casablanca Finance City Authority, and an alumnus of AJC's inaugural Project Interchange seminar for Arab civil society leaders.

Join Mr. Rachid as he discusses his recent visit to Israel and his hope for the future of Moroccan-Israeli relations and greater Arab-Israeli relations. Benjamin Rogers, AJC Associate Director for Policy and Middle East Initiatives, will moderate the discussion.

In spring of 1941, the Germans invaded Soviet-occupied Poland, forcing Jews into ghettos a few months later. In fall of 1942, Toby Levy and her family went into hiding until June 1944 when they were liberated by the Red Army. Today, Ms. Levy, a retired accountant and a volunteer docent for the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City, remains hopeful that the COVID-19 pandemic will not steal her last years just as the Holocaust stole her youth. Join Ms. Levy on January 26, for a special conversation in the lead up to International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Read Ms. Levy’s powerful, poignant, and timely opinion piece in The New York Times here.
