WASHINGTON, DC - Ira N. Forman, CEO of the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC), released the following statement:

During President Barack Obama’s meeting with Jewish community leaders this afternoon, he illustrated a masterful command of policy and showed that he is in touch with the pulse of American Jewry. As in the past, Obama made clear that the long standing and mutually beneficial U.S.-Israel relationship will not be violated. The meeting’s participants, from many different ideological backgrounds, were comforted by the President’s words and poise.

No one could have walked away from the White House meeting without being anything less than impressed with the President’s deep understanding of the issues that matter to our community.
