JPAC Mission Reminder - The annual Jewish Public Affairs Committee Mission to Sacramento will be held on April 28-29. The mission gives Jewish community activists the chance to speak with their elected officials and discuss issues relevant to the Jewish community through a two-day program that includes workshops, panels, receptions and visits with legislators.

On April 1, the JCRC will hold a pre-Mission Public Policy & Advocacy Symposium, in conjunction with Jewish Family Service. Join them as they develop skills and learn how to interact with elected officials locally and in Sacramento. This is a unique opportunity to become an advocate for a variety of public policy issues affecting the Jewish community as well as Federation agencies and the clients they serve. Come to Sacramento and make your voice heard!

Israeli Knesset Delegation Update – Recently, the JCRC hosted a delegation of Israeli Knesset members, including MK Yoel Hasson and MK Shlomo (Neguse) Molla from Kadima, MK Nadia Hilou and MK Ophir Pines-Paz from Labor-Meimad, and MK Moshe Kahlon from Likud.

While in Los Angeles, this distinguished and diverse group of Israeli legislators met with community and business leaders, and was honored at a City Hall reception hosted by City Council President Eric Garcetti and Councilmember Jack Weiss. Their visit was an opportunity to discuss shared social, economic, and cultural issues facing both Los Angeles and Israel, while providing Los Angeles natives unique insight into Israel’s political culture.
