On Monday, November 18, JCRC proudly hosted Here I Am: Silicon Valley in San Jose, bringing together civic and elected leaders from across the South Bay to stand united against hate in the face of rising antisemitism.
Many voices were featured at the press conference, including Shir Hadash member Galit Lipsitz Goldenthal, who bravely shared her voice and personal experiences at the conference - כָּל הַכָּבוֹד Kol HaKavod!
Hear Galit speak in the video below:
The press conference, held at Congregation Sinai, was attended by many Shir Hadash members and leaders, including Shanda Witkin, executive director, and Jodi Muirhead, board president. The press conference also featured leaders including Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen, San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, Fremont Mayor-Elect Raj Salwan and San Jose Vice Mayor Rosemary Kamei alongside partners from Jewish Silicon Valley, AJC, ADL, and the Bay Area Jewish Coalition. We extend our gratitude to everyone who attended and spoke in solidarity with the Jewish community.
