Combating Antisemitism Initiative
In the wake of the October 7 massacre of Israelis and the attendant pro-Hamas demonstrations taking place on college campuses and in the public square, it’s clear that the level of antisemitism in the United States has reached unprecedented levels as measured by the FBI, the ADL, and the American Jewish Committee’s annual survey of antisemitism.
As an ADL signature synagogue, we have partnered with the organization in sponsoring programs for adults and youth to identify antisemitic incidents and to provide guidance on combatting antisemitism using media, political interventions, dialogue, and other tools.
In addition to the ADL and AJC, we have partnered with CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America), the Jewish Community Relations Council, Rutgers Hillel, and other agencies to educate our congregants about the scourge of antisemitism.
A recent program with ADL included a presentation of the organization’s “report card” on the progress toward implementing the recommendations of the Biden administration’s U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.
We encourage members to contact us with any suggestions for future programs or issues we should address. We will keep the community informed of future programs or actions to combat antisemitism and anti-Zionism.
