The Power of Education

Eradicating antisemitism begins with education. That’s why we engage teachers and students through workshops and programs that incorporate the Holocaust and address the real-world impact of antisemitism in today’s society.

Our efforts include community-wide and in-school programming, Holocaust speakers and comprehensive resources designed for individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

Countering Antisemitism Through Information

Misinformation, antisemitic tropes and anti-Zionist rhetoric are everywhere, and many of us are not armed with the facts to counter what we see and what. The best way to fight antisemitism is through education, equipping people with the knowledge and facts to confidently challenge hateful narratives in public spaces, on college campuses and across social media.
