ANU - Museum of the Jewish People We are deeply saddened by the senseless and vicious attack tonight in Washington. We send our love and condolences to our colleagues and to the families of the victims. We remain committed to standing tall and continuing our shared role as proud ambassadors of the Jewish people. Oded Revivi, CEO of ANU – Museum of the Jewish People: “The attack at the entrance of the Jewish museum in Washington is yet another painful reminder that hatred continues to target Jews simply for being Jewish, and that hatred of the State of Israel has become a modern expression of antisemitism.” Revivi added: “As the largest Jewish museum in the world, we maintain close working relationships with our colleagues at the museum in Washington. In recent years, we have taken on the shared mission not only of telling the story of a rich and vibrant Jewish past, but also of highlighting the ongoing contributions of Jews around the globe today. Together, we are acutely aware of the growing expressions of hate—at public events and across social media—that may appear to be directed at Israel, but a closer look reveals the same age-old antisemitism targeting Jews wherever they are.” (fb)

Yesterday, ANU hosted the opening session of the World Zionist Organization - ההסתדרות הציונית העולמית Morim Shlichim training course. Their day included learning about the diverse Jewish world, both past and present, and exploring the importance of curating their own Jewish story. Bhatzlecha (good luck) to all of the teachers! (fb)
