JCRC Annual Meeting 2025

Check-in opens at 6:00pm; Program begins at 6:30pm.

**Free Speech. Hate Speech. Who decides?**

Join your Jewish Community Relations Council on April 2 for this year’s Annual
Meeting. We will dive into debate over “The Dialogue Dilemma,” featuring a
panel discussion on the fine line between free speech and hate speech and how
that impacts campus life and beyond.

Your JCRC continues to make a positive difference in the community. That means
responding to acts of antisemitism, preparing our teens and young adults for
the road ahead, and advocating across political divides—all through
programming, education, and cooperation.
We are excited to welcome **Amanda Berman** , Civil Rights Attorney & Founder
and Executive Director of Zioness, as our featured panelist. Berman (she/her)
works to empower and activate Zionists on the progressive left to stand
proudly in social justice spaces. She is also worked to fight antisemitism
legally—spearheading several groundbreaking initiatives. Berman will be joined
by **Ronit Sherwin** , Campus Support Director for Hillel International and
**Jake Powers** , President of Bearcats for Israel at the University of
Cincinnati.

The Jewish Community Relations Council, the public affairs arm of the Jewish
Federation of Cincinnati, is dedicated to strengthening Jewish well-being by
advocating for a just and equitable society for all.
