AIOI Hosts Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi

On Sunday, Agudath Israel of Illinois hosted Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, who is currently running for U.S. Senate, for a productive discussion with local community leaders. He shared his perspectives on a range of issues, including the Middle East conflict, combating rising antisemitism, education funding, affordability, and more. "These conversations help us better understand where candidates truly stand on the issues that matter to our community, and they give us an opportunity to build meaningful relationships," said Rabbi Shlomo Soroka, Agudath Israel of Illinois, director of government affairs.
