The Jewish Council for Public Affairs(JCPA) organized the letter of solidarity from the Jewish community.

In a letter published on its website, JCPA Chair Michael Fromm and JCPA President and CEO David Bernstein said, “We know that in such times, concern can quickly turn into hysteria, which can lead to scapegoating. We pledge to help ensure that Chinese people feel safe and supported and to combat attacks and stereotyping on social media. We know from history, ours and yours, that such fearmongering can be devastating.”

The letter went on to say that there is no need to avoid Chinese people or businesses and several Jewish communities have sent delegations to local Chinatowns to show their unwavering support.
