This past Wednesday, RAMPAC (Rambam Political Action Committee) visited the Swedish Consulate in New York City. While there, they had the opportunity to meet Consul General Erik Ullenhag, who was the Swedish Ambassador to Israel from 2020 to 2024, and they also got to meet Deputy Consul General Helmer Broberg and Swedish Public Affairs Officer Aviva Neuman.
The RAMPAC was able to talk with these Swedish diplomats about Jewish life in Sweden and the state of anti-Semitism. A lot was learned on both sides, and it was a really amazing opportunity as well as a major kiddush Hashem.
One of the many things that was learned by RAMPAC is that Sweden is celebrating 250 years of Jewish life in Sweden, and they even received invitations to some events that will be run later this year. Thank you to Zach Haironson and Josh Horowitz for putting this event together, and a special thank you to the Swedish diplomats for talking with us.
To date, RAMPAC has also met with delegates from Argentina and Panama, and RAMPAC was able to bring an Israeli diplomat to Rambam for a schoolwide assembly.
