AMMWEC coalition sends Rosh Hashanah greetings to Jewish communities

The AMMWEC National Coalition Against Antisemitism & Hate marked Rosh Hashanah on Sept. 11, 2026, with a message of solidarity to Jewish communities in the U.S., Israel and worldwide. The group framed the holiday as a moment to confront antisemitism, defend religious freedom and call for peace in the year ahead.

Why it matters: - The coalition used the Rosh Hashanah holiday to publicly reaffirm support for Jewish communities facing antisemitism and hatred. - The message links interfaith solidarity with a broader defense of religious freedom and safe worship. - The holiday greeting lands as Jewish communities enter a period centered on reflection, renewal and hope.

Between the lines: - The holiday statement serves as both a seasonal greeting and a public stance against antisemitism. - AMMWEC is positioning itself as an interfaith ally at a time when religious tensions and fears about hate remain a live issue. - The coalition’s language emphasizes shared moral responsibility rather than a one-off gesture.
