Ted Deutch, CEO of American Jewish Committee (AJC) joined New York Governor Kathy Hochul for her major announcement that New York State is committing — with will and resources — to implement the National Strategy.

American Jewish Committee (AJC) has presented its prestigious Human Dignity Award to Shaykh Abdallah Bin Bayyah, one of the world’s most respected Islamic scholars and a champion of religious freedom, peace, and enhancing Muslim-Jewish relations.

American Jewish Committee (AJC) was joined Tuesday evening by diplomats and dignitaries from around the world for its annual Global Jewish Diplomacy Reception. 

Featured speakers included Ambassador Dan Shapiro, Senior Advisor for Regional Integration, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, U.S. Department of State; His Excellency Michael Herzog, Ambassador of Israel to the United States; Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism; and the Honorable Robert Silvers, Undersecretary for Policy, U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

American Jewish Committee (AJC) remains deeply disturbed by the inclusion of speakers with well-documented track records of spewing antisemitic venom at the Palestine Writes event at the University of Pennsylvania. AJC believes that the university and affiliated departments need to make clear that they will not be associated with an event that hosts such hateful speakers and will ensure a safe and welcoming environment for Jewish students. AJC also believes the university needs to closely examine the process by which such programs are endorsed and funded by the university or its departments. AJC continues to stand in solidarity with the Jewish community at Penn. AJC CEO Ted Deutch will join Penn Unity Shabbat on Friday night to stand with Penn’s Jewish community during this time and celebrate the resilience of these students in the face of antisemitic bigotry.
