In celebration of #BlackJewishUnity Week, September 6-11, the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and the National Urban League have compiled a list of ten great moments that highlight the strong ties between America’s Black and Jewish communities.
Announced during AJC’s Global Forum in 2019, the bipartisan Congressional Caucus on Black-Jewish Relations was created to address the urgent need to bring together the Black and Jewish communities.
For #BlackJewishUnity Week, September 6–11, AJC and the National Urban League created resource lists to provide each community with films, articles, and books about the Black and American Jewish experiences, respectively.
In this week's Shabbat Table, we discuss the commandment in the Torah reading to sacrifice the first fruits of a harvest, the 75th anniversary of Bess Myerson becoming the first (and only) Jewish Miss America, how to talk to your kids about Black-Jewish relations, and much more.
