AJC president calls for renewed black-Jewish alliance
Addressing 500 African American pastors in Jerusalem, Daniel Rosen unveiled an initiative to strengthen ties between the two communities through joint projects and personal relationships
Assessment
Daniel Rosen is betting that face-to-face relationships, not just shared political interests, can rebuild trust between Black and Jewish communities. The initiative targets 500 pastors as multipliers, suggesting the strategy is about grassroots influence rather than elite dealmaking. Watch whether the joint projects focus on domestic U.S. issues like antisemitism and racial justice, or on Israel-related advocacy. The real test will be whether this translates into sustained cooperation beyond a single event.
