Dear Friends,


As we enter the final days of summer, I want to take a moment to reflect on the past few weeks. At the end of July, we saw shocking displays of antisemitism coinciding with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s visit to our nation’s capital. Our hearts broke as we bore witness to blatant support for terrorism in the streets of Washington, D.C., from the vandalizing of monuments and memorials, the burning of American flags, assaulting of U.S. Park Police officers, and

the release of maggots and crickets in the Watergate Hotel where the Israeli delegation stayed. None of these actions were meant to contribute to meaningful dialogue toward peace and the release of the hostages. When these actions go unchecked, it creates a breeding ground for hate to flourish and infect our communities. That is why ADL was formed 111 years ago and continues to uphold its mission today.


Please know that ADL has been working diligently to respond to

Oren Segal, testified before the Ways and Means Committee to address the tax-exempt funds fueling antisemitic activity. We will continue to update you on our efforts to combat antisemitism, extremism, and other forms of hate. As we turn to the start of the school year, we’re proud to partner with Hillel International, AJC, Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and the Jewish Federations of North America to

provide universities with a comprehensive set of recommendations aimed at combating antisemitism on campus in the upcoming school year. Through collaboration and community, we can create a safer environment for students.


ADL continuously strives to lead the fight against hate of all kinds in new and innovative ways. With your continued support, I know we can make our community stronger and safe for all.


Wishing you a wonderful rest of the summer.


Best,

Meredith R. Weisel

ADL D.C. continuously does work on the ground to serve our communities.Through robust educational programs, speaking engagements, and advocacy, we empower the region to challenge hate, bias, bigotry, and extremism.


Educational Trainings/Workshops:
- In July, we provided a workplace antisemitism workshop to a public health organization in the DMV. In addition to discussing what antisemitism is, and what antisemitism looks like through ADL’s audit data, we also discussed how antisemitism impacts the mental health of Jewish people. We appreciate the engagement and conversation from this program.
- We visited Frederick County Public Schools to provide an in-person information session on our No Place for Hate student programming. We are so excited to be working with these incredible educators in the upcoming school year, and appreciate their dedication and hard work before the year even begins.
- At the end of July, our education team collaborated with the JCRC of Greater Washington to provide an antisemitism education workshop for 25 administrators and counselors from Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia. We are so encouraged by the willingness to learn, and the dedication from these educators.
- On August 6th, 25 teachers from 5 states attended a five-day seminar discussing the Holocaust & antisemitism.
