i'm particularly thinking today about the a split days, a mono thee yick minority in northern iraq. when they were experiencing a recent genocide that began in 2014, the board of rabbis stepped up together with interfaith councils in our area to raise consciousness about the polite of it and to raise funds to help in certain ways without taking any stand for or against anyone. and actually as part of supporting them,way also supported a syrian christians who were facing a particularly horrific time, their situation was never defined as a genocide but was on that level so we supported both communities. >> we're seeing a lot in our community and also sadly the country that has to do with a kind of rising anti-jewish antisemitic sentiment, whether it is something in social social or social media or in a pebblecation or something from an individual. what is the role of the faith community when there is a distinct group, in this case jews, marked in a way filled with prejudice? >> i think that is such a good question. i think there isn't one way to do it and that the most important part

last week i attended a meeting at affirmative action for captain yick and one of the sergeants who i don't recall his name, as well as a number of members from the chinatown community to discuss the ongoing real problems that asian-americans, the chinese community are having in this city, both in chinatown and other districts where there's heavy asian populations and the mayor's office as well. and really i think everybody is seeing the news reports and headlines so i don't need to repeat all of that. but people are really looking for new and innovative solutions to a problem that seems to have spiked up in a way that is causing a lot of real challenges within various communities. so it was good to be there and hear everybody's perspective and hopefully we can keep working to make advances so that there's no longer the fear or concern of chinese and asian-americans being targeted in our communities. >> thank you. next line item. >> line item 1e, commissioner announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration. action. >> our next meeting is january 8, is that right? >>
