American Jewish Committee and the U.S. Conference of Mayors announced on March 29, that more than 525 mayors across the United States, including six in Arizona, have joined their national effort to combat anti-Semitism.
The two organizations are calling on mayors across the country to sign a statement declaring that anti-Semitism is incompatible with fundamental democratic values.
âAnti-Semitism is a growing societal menace, it comes from multiple sources, and mayors are uniquely positioned to lead their cities in taking concerted steps to fight it,â said AJC CEO David Harris.
The statement, Mayors United Against Anti-Semitism, in part reads: âIn a world of global communications, where anti-Semitic ideas spread rapidly, a concerted and principled response is required to raise awareness, to educate and to ensure decency prevails. As mayors and municipal leaders, we have a unique responsibility to speak out against the growing menace of anti-Semitism.â

A one-hour event will be held on Friday, March 26th, the summit will feature keynote speakers from across the industry ahead of the 2021 Northern American cherry season.

In March, Marana, Oro Valley, Prescott and Scottsdale were among other Arizona towns and cities that proclaimed Education and Sharing Day for the first time.
The day recognizes the work of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who emphasized the crucial importance of ethical and moral education as well as the importance of giving. Every president since Jimmy Carter in 1978 has made an Education and Sharing Day proclamation.
âEducation must be more than factual enlightenment â it must enrich the character as well as the mind,â said President Ronald Reagan in his 1982 proclamation for the day, echoing Schneersonâs sentiments.
Gov. Doug Ducey proclaimed March 24, 2021 to be Education and Sharing Day as he has done in the past, but the Chabad Lubavitch movement made a point this year to have local jurisdictions recognize Education and Sharing Day as well. Chabad rabbis worked with mayors to make it happen.
