猶太社區關係委員會
您是否有興趣代表猶太社區聯盟 (JCA) 從事社區關係工作？
The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) is accepting new members!
「聆聽猶太歷史的種種細節，讓我回想起父母過去常跟我講的關於猶太人（馬來語為『Orang Jahudi』）及其爭取自由的鬥爭！學習猶太民族的歷史對我來說遠比美食本身更重要。那天晚上，我內心充滿了感動。」——一位印尼社區成員在猶太社區關係委員會（JCRC-亞洲友誼）舉辦的猶太-亞洲友誼晚宴上的猶太社區關係委員會想。
「像圖西族或其他少數族裔群體，支持猶太人對我們來說是件好事。我們有很多相似的價值觀：我們討論各種問題，我們堅定地支持我們的社區，而且我們不吃豬肉。如果我在社區裡看到猶太人，我就看到了我的兄弟姐妹，即使我不認識他們。」——保羅·尼約尼齊吉耶，摘自猶太社區關係委員會（JCRC）關於猶太盟友。
新成立的JCRC由三個志工委員會組成，協助JCRC領導階層（包括JCRC主任扎克·施瓦茨）進行搭建溝通橋樑和打擊反猶太主義的工作。這三個委員會分別是政府倡議委員會、跨文化交流團和K-12倡議小組。
JCRC Platform
南緬因州猶太社區聯盟是該州最大的猶太組織；然而，緬因州的猶太社區多元化，雖然我們都關心打擊仇恨和反猶太主義，但我們可能並不總是在如何團結起來反對仇恨和反猶太主義的問題上達成一致。因此，我們希望闡明JCRC的綱領和價值觀，這些綱領和價值觀代表了許多緬因州猶太人的立場，但並非全部。它們可以歸納為兩點：
- First and foremost, we stand united against antisemitism and hatred against Jewish people in Maine, and everywhere across the world.
- Secondly, we oppose any measure that unfairly demonizes, delegitimizes, or applies a double standard to the state of Israel, such as BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction); our members hold a wide range of beliefs on Israeli issues, yet we unequivocally support Israel’s right to exist.
How to Join
The JCRC is open to all community members (Jewish and non-Jewish) who are interested in our work and aligned with our platform. All JCRC members receive:
- Specialized training sessions from renowned local experts and national organizations such as the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Jews of Color Initiative, and Jewish Federations for North America
- Quarterly lunches provided by the JCA to celebrate wins
- Member perks such as books, invitations to JCA and other cultural events, and more
- 我們是由一群志同道合、跨越不同人口統計界限的人士組成的社區，我們團結一致，致力於建立橋樑，引領猶太社區關係工作的未來！
01
政府倡議委員會
This group builds relationships with the elected officials that represent them and other governmental leaders on behalf of the JCRC. Examples of work that committee members would do include meeting with their local State Representatives or city councilors, writing letters in favor or opposition to a bill, and receiving specialized, non-public briefings on antisemitic incidents in Maine.
02
Intercultural Corps
This group builds friendship with other communities and faiths, working to see our communities flourish together. Examples of work that the committee members would do include attending other cultures’ festivals/celebrations/commemorations as representatives of the JCRC, volunteering for other communities during their times of need, or participating in cross-cultural exchange programs that promote learning between Jews and non-Jews.

K-12 Advocacy
該組織為緬因州學校的猶太學生和教育工作者提供支援。委員會成員的工作包括：與學校管理人員會面討論猶太相關問題，與學校溝通猶太節日的慶祝方式，或在課程中引入猶太視角。
