Minneapolis, MN – Steve Hunegs, Executive Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas (JCRC) issued the following statement today applauding the U.S. Senate, which voted yesterday to strengthen existing sanctions against Iran and impose new ones aimed at its fuel supplies:
Since 1939, the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas (JCRC) has served as the designated public affairs voice of the Jewish community to elected officials, the media, and other religious, racial and ethnic groups. JCRC is the only local agency fighting anti-Semitism, advocating for Israel, safeguarding religious freedom, and engaging in community service and social action advocacy for tikkun olam (”repairing the world”).
Participants came to the presentation with diverse opinions about the Middle East conflict and the presenter graciously encouraged those opinions to be shared. He was very respectful and fostered dialogue in a helpful, healthy manner. Everyone who attended became better informed.
