AJC March in Review

March was a busy month for our intergroup relations and international affairs committees.  We shared music with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and met with many Consuls General, teaching about the Jewish holiday of Purim.  We hosted a lecture on the life of Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis and learned about the "Twisted Path to Citizenship" through our Indo-Jewish Coalition with Charles Kuck and Teri Simmons.  To view photos from all of our programs throughout the month, please click here.

In addition to all of our programing, we kicked-off our Annual Campaign honoring David Kuniansky as our 2008 Selig Distinguished Service Award Recipient.  Let us know if you would like to become more involved in our annual campaign,donating here.
