Statement of Congratulations on the Elevation of Pope Leo XIV
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Pope Leo XIV on his elevation to the papacy. As a Jewish organization committed to justice, compassion, and interfaith collaboration, we are heartened by his long-standing commitment to social justice, care for the poor, environmental stewardship, and the deepening of interreligious dialogue.
In a world urgently in need of moral clarity and collective action, we are hopeful that Pope Leo XIV will be a powerful voice for the dignity of all people, the protection of our planet, and the pursuit of peace across faiths and nations. We look forward to the continued strengthening of Jewish–Catholic relations and to working in shared purpose to advance equity, human rights, and the common good.
May his leadership bring wisdom, courage, and healing in the years ahead.

Our Mission & Vision
Our mission is twofold: 1) preserve our parents’ and grandparents’ stories of trauma, healing, and renewal and 2) use those stories to promote understanding of, and empathy for, the Holocaust and its enduring impact on humanity. We fulfill our mission by:
- Collaborating with schools, colleges, cultural institutions, and religious and civic organizations on creating valuable and unique learning opportunities.
- Offering programs designed to enrich appreciation of cultural, religious, and social differences. This includes contemporary celebrations of ancient rituals, interfaith celebrations, and educational programs addressing the dangers of prejudice, racism, and bystander indifference.
- Maintaining a Community Archive documenting the history of the community through books, letters, photographs, oral histories, and other historical artifacts that bear witness to the remarkable contributions of this particular Jewish community to life in Northeastern Connecticut and to the Jewish diaspora in general.
