New York, NY — Betsy Berns Korn, Chair, and William C. Daroff, CEO, of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, issued the following statement:
“We extend warm congratulations to Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun on his confirmation by the United States Senate to serve as Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism. Rabbi Kaploun, now Ambassador Kaploun, assumes this responsibility at a moment that demands vigilance, clarity, and principled leadership.
“The challenges before us remain profound. Antisemitic rhetoric and violence surge in many communities, and Jewish institutions confront threats that target both their security and their legitimacy. Old hatred adapts quickly, and this era calls for an advocate who confronts danger wherever it appears.
“We welcome Ambassador Kaploun’s commitment to education, engagement, and partnership with Jewish communities throughout the United States and around the world.
“We stand ready to work with him at this critical time and will support his efforts on behalf of American Jewry as he advances the urgent fight against antisemitism in all its forms.”
