Ted Deutch, CEO of American Jewish Committee
@AJCCEO
Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱 Proud Jew & Zionist. CEO, @AJCGlobal. Member of Congress (2010-22). We are all responsible for each other — כל ישראל ערבים זה בז
I don’t daven (pray) every day, but there’s something especially powerful about wrapping tefillin (symbols of faith worn on arm and forehead during prayer) on the Fourth of July. As Jews, we place sacred words on our arm and head to align our actions and thoughts with our values.…
I had an important meeting with @EricDinowitzNYC about the present state and future of Jewish life in New York City, home to the largest Jewish population in the U.S. New York is a city of endless possibilities, and despite all the challenges, I’m confident that it will…
It was a joy and a privilege to speak at @rabbisacks & @ReutUsa Conference on the Future of American Jewry! 🇺🇸✡️ It was a day filled with reflection and connection, and a testament to the creativity, diversity, and dedication of the American Jewish community and our many…
Shabbat is about being together! שבת שלום !
On this day in 2012, a Hezbollah terrorist detonated a bomb on a bus full of Israeli tourists, many of them young, who were in Bulgaria on vacation to enjoy the beach. 6 people were killed and 32 injured. A pregnant woman was among the murdered. This was terrorism, plain and…
31 years ago, 85 people were killed and over 300 wounded in the bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. It is the deadliest antisemitic attack outside of Israel since the Holocaust. And we must not forget that it was orchestrated by Iran and Hezbollah, whose…
For 650 days, we've been calling for every hostage to come home. For 650 days, we’ve marched in the streets, hung up posters (and put up new ones when they were torn down), and raised awareness about the hostages held by Hamas. For 650 days, we've uplifted their stories, their…
Like the @ADL, we at @AJCGlobal have seen teachers' unions and faculty groups across the country setting a dangerous precedent of normalizing ahistorical and hateful language and ideas, as well as excluding Jewish students and faculty. To foster truly inclusive educational…
Big tent doesn’t mean no boundaries. “Globalize the intifada” is, as the Chairman says, Reckless. Dangerous. A green light to terror. It should be unequivocally condemned. “There's no place for rhetoric that can be seen as a call to violence.” But this is not about…
The right-wing lie machine is at it again. That’s not what I said in this interview. I’ve never supported or condoned the phrase 'globalize the intifada', a phrase which is reckless and dangerous, as it can been seen as a green light to terror, and it should be unequivocally…
שבת שלום ✡️✡️✡️ Wishing you a Shabbat full of lightness and peace.
"Antisemitism doesn’t just affect the Jewish community–it affects society as a whole, it affects our democracy, & that’s why everyone has a role in fighting it." It was great chatting with the Cleveland Jewish News when I was in northeast Ohio last week. clevelandjewishnews.com/news/local_new…
.@IsraeliPM's visit to the @WhiteHouse, @StateDept & @DeptofDefense is a testament to the continued strength of the US-Israel alliance.🇺🇸🇮🇱 We thank @POTUS and his administration for their steadfast commitment to Israel’s security and their diplomatic efforts to expand the…
Rape and sexual assault. As a weapon of war. This newly released report from the Dinah Project has shed light on the horribly depraved way Hamas systematically wielded sexual violence on October 7th and the 642 days since. These were crimes against humanity. As the report…
The news from Texas is so terribly sad. As we mourn the tragic loss of life in the floods, we join people of all faiths and backgrounds in prayer and solidarity. May the memories of those lost be a blessing. And may we all answer the call to support, to comfort, and to strengthen…
“We often say the time for action against the scourge of antisemitism is now. But the truth is, that time has long passed.” After attacks on Australia’s Jews, @AIJAC_Update’s Joel Burnie speaks for Jews around the world. We stand together as one. aijac.org.au/featured/austr…
Tradition + Freedom = Proud American Jews! ✡️🇺🇸 Shabbat Shalom!
On this July 4th, let's all take a moment to think of the 2 American hostages STILL held by Hamas. Omer Neutra and Itay Chen's families deserve resolution, and the world should not forget the sheer depravity of Hamas for holding them for 637 days. #BringThemHomeNow
Itay Chen and Omer Neutra, both American citizens, were murdered and kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023. For 637 days, their bodies have been held in Gaza. Their families have endured unimaginable pain and deserve closure. We must bring them—and all remaining…
On July 4th, I’m reflecting on the countless contributions that American Jews have made since the founding of our great nation. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Whether in culture, law, medicine, civil rights, sports, or business, American Jews have contributed to all of our nation’s great successes and…
