CAM was proud to host a virtual reception in celebration of Monsignor Giuseppe Placido Nicolini, whose heroic actions helped save two hundred Jewish lives from Nazi deportation in WWII. The event brought senior archbishops together, who called on Catholics from around the world to gather together to actively help fight the rise of antisemitism.
CAM, the Israel-Spain Forum Alliance (ISFA), and the Center for Jewish Impact (CJI) have issued a joint call — backed by a petition with more than 16,000 signatures — for the Barcelona City Council to vote at its meeting this Friday to restore the “Twin City” relationship with Tel Aviv that was severed earlier this month by Mayor Ada Colau.
