Austin-Jerusalem Coalition
A-JC unites Christian and Jewish leaders to strengthen relationships, confront antisemitism, and build interfaith resilience across Texas.
Bringing the Heart of God to the Heart of Texas.
Antisemitism and social polarization are increasing across the United States and impacting Texas communities.
The Austin-Jerusalem Coalition brings Christians and the Jewish community together through education, relationship-building, and public engagement rooted in faith, understanding, and action.
Built in partnership with Shalom Austin and Simka Foundation, A-JC focuses on safe and respectful interfaith engagement.
