The AJT covered U.S. antisemitism envoy Elan Carr's address to 250 people at the Atlanta Jewish Academy, an event the Atlanta Israel Coalition sponsored. Cheryl Dorchinsky is named as AIC's founder alongside Carr and Israel's consul general in Atlanta, Anat Sultan-Dadon.
Ahead of Elan Carr's Atlanta visit, the AJT interviewed the U.S. antisemitism envoy and named the Atlanta Israel Coalition as sponsor of his September 15 program at the Atlanta Jewish Academy.
Israel InSight previewed the September 2019 program AIC built around Elan Carr, then the U.S. special envoy for monitoring and combating antisemitism. The piece introduced the coalition as barely a year old and quoted Cheryl Dorchinsky on wanting a gathering place where Atlanta's pro-Israel groups could actually work together.
Marcia Caller Jaffe covered the Atlanta premiere of "Black Forest," Kay Wilson's account of surviving a machete attack in Israel, held at Congregation Beth Jacob. The piece credits Cheryl Dorchinsky with finding Wilson's story and getting her to Atlanta, and names the organization she was starting at the time as Atlanta Israel Connection.
