Conversation with Congressman Jake Auchincloss

Monday, August 10, 9am

Our Temple Beth Shalom community is blessed to share ongoing and close relationships with our elected representatives.  These connections enable us to work with our leaders in building a community and a Commonwealth that reflects our values.  As constituents and partners, we ask questions and provide important feedback as they consider their positions on public policy. 

In recent days, Congressman Jake Auchincloss reached out to us to share that he would like to connect with members of the Temple Beth Shalom community. We are grateful for the opportunity to once again welcome Congressman Auchincloss to TBS.  He will be with us on Monday, August 10th at 9 am.  To join us, please RSVP below.

While the Congressman will happily address any policy-related issues, he is mindful that many in the Jewish community may have questions regarding his affirmative vote on the recent amendment introduced by Representative Thomas Massie regarding U.S. Foreign Military Financing.  This amendment, had it passed, would have eliminated the principal annual U.S. military financing program that enables Israel to purchase U.S. weapons and other military equipment.

Congressman Auchincloss has consistently demonstrated his support for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.  In meeting with us, he wishes to connect with constituents, share the reasoning behind his vote, speak about the future of the alliance between Israel and the United States, and to answer questions that we may have.

We hope that you will join us for this important opportunity to engage directly with Congressman Auchincloss in thoughtful conversation.
