Welcome to SWJC Blog

Southwest Jewish Congress was formed in 2009 with the vision and leadership of Founding Chair, Harry Ploss, and a group of committed board members who believed that understanding the complex challenges facing the U.S. and Israel in the Middle East today, will enable us to preserve our Constitutional rights and freedoms tomorrow.  It was determined that the way to accomplish this was to provide the community unique briefings on Israel and the Middle East, to initiate programming on threats to the U.S. Constitution and to celebrate diversity in our community.
