Prior Actions Against Antisemitism
On January 25, 2026, CAA hosted a follow-up discussion from an earlier event with Rabbi Uram, “Israel and Zionism: Let’s Discuss Amongst Ourselves.” Small groups were provided questions about their Jewish identity and thoughts on Zionism and Israel. The small groups joined together to share opposing and connecting perspectives that were raised. CAA will continue to provide opportunities for the exchange of ideas where divisions and commonalities occur within our community.
