Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), together with the Jewish American Affairs Committee of Indiana (JAACI), celebrated on Sunday the opening of CJV Indiana in Indianapolis. The opening event, which featured a keynote address by Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales, marked the start of an effort designed to grow and enhance the efforts of JAACI by associating with CJV and its national reputation.

The gathering brought together community leaders, elected officials, and faith-based advocates to highlight the significance of this partnership and chart the course for future initiatives. Dr. Allon Friedman, who will lead the new Indiana chapter, provided the following statement:

I am proud that JAACI is working closely with the CJV towards establishing ourselves as CJV Indiana. As Indiana’s Jewish community continues to grow, this collaboration will ensure our voices are united and even stronger, both locally and nationally, as we champion the issues that matter most to our community.
