This historic agreement "is a tremendously important and positive development,” our CEO Daniel Mariaschin told JNS.org. “The growing realignment of interests in the region will certainly contribute to stability in a chaotic neighborhood, and send a strong message to those who seek to promote that chaos that their efforts will not succeed."

Did You Know? International Holocaust Remembrance Day is Jan. 27. We mark the day each year with events around the world. To see our 2019 event at the United Nations, click here: http://webtv.un.org/watch/india-a-distant-haven-during-the-holocaust/5995582067001/
At that event, we noted: “Anti-Semitism persists as Holocaust-denial, that grave injustice, only stands to intensify as more time following World War II passes and we lose more of the survivors, the first-hand witnesses to the unthinkable crimes of the Nazis. And as memory fades, so do lessons – which is something that our world cannot afford."
On Monday, watch for our events in New York, Israel and across Latin America.

B'nai B'rith Young Leadership Retreat

Over the weekend of Feb. 1 – Feb. 3, B’nai B’rith Young Leadership Chair and Senior Vice President Scott Knapp brought the next generation of B’nai B’rith leaders to Fort Lauderdale to unite and build for the future. Scott coordinated an amazing young leadership retreat; from Shabbat with a sommelier, to guest speakers, a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, strengths) analysis, planning for the future, and enjoying the evenings together, participants were kept busy. But the activity became even more fulfilling when they stopped to serve breakfast to seniors at the B’nai B’rith’s Deerfield Beach affordable housing complex. After all of that, they celebrated with some R&R on the beach and a rooftop Super Bowl watch party.

B'nai B'rith young leaders gathered at the Japanese embassy in Washington, D.C. for dinner and a group discussion with Japanese political officers.
