Kasza

The Jewish Community 
Relations Council/AJC 
(JCRC/AJC) recently hosted 
a luncheon for Archbishop 
Allen Vigneron of Detroit at 
the Max M. Fisher Federation 
Building. More than 25 local 
rabbis and professionals 
from Jewish communal 
organizations and 
representatives of the 
Archdiocese of Detroit 
attended.

The program, which 
provided the opportunity for 
community leaders to come 
together, connect and think 
about future collaboration, 
featured a conversation with 
the archbishop and JCRC/
AJC Executive Director 
Rabbi Asher Lopatin. Among 
their topics of discussion 
were the Jewish-Catholic 
relationship and anti-
Semitism.
