What is in a name?
ο»ΏCity of Dallas adopts a formal definition of "antisemitism."
| From lighting the AT&T Discovery Plaza and Bank of America Plaza blue for Yom Ha'atzmaut, to passing a meaningful resolution condemning and defining antisemitism, the City of Dallas showed unwavering support for our community this week. | |
Thank you to Mayor Johnson and the Dallas City Council for this unanimous support. The efforts of AJC Dallas and ADL Texoma allow Jewish Dallas to feel seen, heard, and respected. We are grateful to the tireless efforts and advocacy of Jaynie Schultz (Dallas, District 11), and Cara Mendelsohn for (Dallas, District 12) and the Mayor's Anti-Hate Advisory Council, co-chaired by our Board Vice-chair Sherry Goldberg. | |
Israel Independence Day (Yom Ha'atzmaut) Celebration Gathers Over 1,300
| Jewish Dallas enjoyed some sweet Israel Independence Day (Yom Ha'atzmaut) celebrations at the JCC Dallas on Sunday. The event started with food and fun, and ended with a live performance from Itay Levi! | |
Yom HaZikaron Ceremony Provides Somber Reflection
| From the beginning, Israel Remembrance Day preceded Independence Day. While it is now formally recognized the day before Yom Ha'atzmaut, the importance and impact of the ceremony remains constant--even here in Dallas. | |
