THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
FEBRUARY 22, 2026
At a time when antisemitism is rising across the United States and around the world, leadership matters. Unity matters. Innovation matters. That is why the creation of the Maryland Legislative Jewish Caucus is such an important and hopeful development—not only for Jews in Maryland, but for anyone who believes in civil rights, religious freedom, and a more inclusive society.
In January 2024, the Maryland General Assembly officially recognized this new caucus. It joins other groups such as Legislative Caucus for the Black, Latino/Hispanic, Asian American & Pacific Islander, Women’s and other caucuses.
Since founding, the Jewish Caucus has quickly emerged as a strong, unified voice on issues that affect Jewish communities and other vulnerable groups. Its work reflects both the urgency of the moment and the enduring Jewish commitment to justice, dignity, and repairing the world.
The caucus is led by two thoughtful and effective public servants: Senator Shelly L. Hettleman and Delegate Jared Solomon. Together, they are building a collaborative, bipartisan, and values-driven approach to public policy in Annapolis.
