Dear %%First Name%%,
During this period of turmoil and uncertainty, so many of us are looking for opportunities to connect—to one another, to the world around us, and to the issues we care about.
We at AJC have been pleased to ease that process through such initiatives as our Advocacy Anywhere webinar series, our Virtual Global Forum, and our ongoing engagement with the largest social media community in the Jewish world.
I’d like to take a moment to introduce you to another valuable communications channel: AJC’s weekly podcast, People of the Pod.
 
Boasting an impressive roster of notable guests, diverse perspectives, exclusive stories, and interviews with high-profile newsmakers, People of the Pod brings the events of the day—from America, Israel, and around the world—directly to you, on your computer or mobile device. Each week, we dive into the most important stories affecting the Jewish people around the world through hard-hitting conversations with the people making them happen.
People of the Pod guests have included:
  1. Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Democratic Presidential Candidate
  2. Natan Sharansky, Jewish Icon
  3. Deborah Lipstadt, Holocaust Historian
  4. Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI), Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), and Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), Co-Chairs of the Congressional Caucus on Black-Jewish Relations
  5. Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, Senior Rabbi of Central Synagogue in New York
Recent episodes have included White Supremacy in America and David Duke; Remembering Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg; Celebrating #BlackJewishUnity Week with the National Urban League; and The George Soros Saga: Antisemitism, Conspiracies, and Influence.
 
Next week, be sure to tune into a special live podcast recording, “COVID-19 in New York's Ultra-Orthodox Community: A Conversation with Jacob Kornbluh” on October 20 at 4:00pm EST. Click here to register.

Warmly,
Avi Mayer
