      <image:title>Latest News - Global Antisemitism News Roundup - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>LOS ANGELES ATTACK VICTIM SUES ASSAILANTS: Attorneys for Mher Hagopian allege that he and fellow diners at a sushi restaurant were victims of a hate crime that “not only physically and emotionally harmed Hagopian and his friends, but also was intended to intimidate all Jewish Angelenos, instilling fear and anxiety in the heart of Los Angeles’ vibrant Jewish community.”    ****************** GEORGIA LEGISLATURE ADOPTS IHRA DEFINITION: The Georgia House of Representatives has mandated use of the definition of antisemitism promulgated by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance in determining whether an act is considered to be antisemitic.  A number of Jewish Georgians, however, posted an op-ed in the Atlanta Journal Constitution opposing the legislature’s resolution.    ****************** EUROPEAN UNION MOVES TO COMBAT ANTISEMITISM: The Council of the European Union approved measures to oppose antisemitism and racism, and these actions were praised by the World Jewish Congress. Europe has the highest number of antisemitic incidents worldwide, and the EU resolutions encourage member countries to advance action plans for combating antisemitism and promoting Jewish life.      ****************** MEDIA GROUPS MOBILIZE AGAINST ANTISEMITISM: The National Religious Broadcasters, Combat Antisemitism Movement, and International Christian Embassy Jerusalem have issued a joint statement calling on all American Christians to encourage officials at all levels of government to support the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism and to “let your voice be heard in support of Israel and against the growing hatred of anti-Semitism.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>FOU Platinum Israel Communities needing help - Greetings Friends of the Union and Friends of Israel As one might imagine, the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations has a special program set up in support of Israel-based ministries in need. Of particular interest to us at the moment is resourcing ministries in Israel working directly with individuals impacted by the Gaza/Iran war. Per our policy, the president of the UMJC (Rabbi Barney Kasdan) and the executive director (me) review requests for aid from Israel, disperse funds made available to assist with those needs, and report to the Executive Committee on those activities. Use this link to donate. If you wish to donate to a specific ministry in Israel, (1) make the donation using the link, and (2) Then write an email to accounting@umjc.org and let our bookkeeper know which ministry you want your donation to go to. We greatly appreciate your interest in supporting us as we support international Messianic Jewish communities and ministries around the world. If you’d like to discuss a gift with me, email me at jeffreyseif@umjc.org. Shalom, Dr. Jeffrey Seif, Executive Director, Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations</image:title>
