Aaron G. Frenkel, Chairman of the Board of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC), has been elected Senior Vice President of the World Jewish Congress (WJC). The decision was made during a vote held at the 17th WJC Plenary Assembly in Jerusalem.

Congratulating him on the occasion, EAJC President Dr. Michael Mirilashvili stated:

We are proud to have had the privilege of working alongside you.
Let me share a secret: everything Aaron touches turns out better and more successful. That’s simply the truth.”

It is important to note that Aaron G. Frenkel will continue serving as Chairman of the EAJC Board.

The EAJC’s member communities join in congratulating Aaron G. Frenkel and wish him great success and impact in his new role — for the benefit of the global Jewish people and in strengthening the ties between Israel and the Diaspora.
