American Jewish Committee (AJC), the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, welcomes today’s announcement from the Claims Conference and the German government that close to one billion euros will be allocated in 2026 to provide much-needed home-care assistance for Holocaust survivors.

For over four decades, the European Union of Jewish Students (EUJS) has created something epic: SummerU, a weeklong retreat that brings Jewish students and young professionals to stunning European destinations for geopolitical and skills-building workshops, board elections, and evening celebrations of Jewish life.

Oct. 28 marks 60 years since the Roman Catholic Church issued Nostra Aetate, the groundbreaking declaration that rejected collective Jewish responsibility in the death of Jesus.

It is no exaggeration to say that Catholic-Jewish relations have been indelibly transformed for the better since Nostra Aetate changed the course of that relationship.

If you’ve never heard of Nostra Aetate, then you have something in common with most Jews.
But it’s definitely worth a read. Although it’s just 1,174 words in the original Latin, it speaks volumes about how far relations between Jews and Catholics have come, though we are also aware of how far they have to go.
