At AJC Virtual Global Forum 2021, attendees heard from a wide diversity of American Jewry.
In this video, Dr. Saba Soomekh, Associate Director of AJC Los Angeles, shares her experience growing up as a first-generation Persian American and how her identity as a Persian Jew has shaped her life, from family Shabbat dinners to a career as a professor of religious studies and an advocate for global Jewry and against antisemitism.
