1st Amendment Dinner At The Jewish Cultural Center Set For April 10

  • Tuesday, March 25, 2025
In honor of all U.S. veterans, the Jewish Federation resumes its annual First Amendment Dinner. Special guest Nadine Strossen, former ACLU president, will speak. The event will take place on Thursday, April 10 at 5:30 p.m. at the Jewish Cultural Center, 5461 North Terrace Road. Registration is required. The dinner and program is $15 per person with no cost for U.S. veterans.  

"Suspended during the pandemic, the First Amendment Dinner is a way to help the community understand the importance of the Amendment and its contemporary significance," organizers said.
"The non-partisan event has always meant to be educational and not political. Past speakers have included Republicans, Democrats and legal scholars." 

Michael Dzik, Federation president and CEO, said, “Education is a significant value in Judaism.  We feel that it is our responsibility to bring this discussion to the community.”
