REPORT: Jewish and Israeli Americans Face Discrimination in the Job Market
Jewish American job candidates needed to send 24 percent more applications to receive the same number of positive first responses from prospective employers as Americans with Western European backgrounds when applying for the same job, according to a new ADL study. Further, Israeli Americans needed to send 39 percent more applications,
indicating substantial discrimination.
This groundbreaking evidence reveals that Jewish and Israeli Americans may be missing out on job opportunities just because of their identity, not their qualifications. The ADL-sponsored study, independently conducted by leading labor economist Dr. Bryan Tomlin, illustrates the very real need for employers to take anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli prejudice seriously in order to have a workplace that works for everyone.
A Network for Jews in the Workplace: Join ADL’s National Jewish Employee Resource Group (ERG) Network to connect with other Jewish employees around the country. The group is open to ALL Jewish employees, at any company. Sign up here.

Islamist Terror in the U.S.:
Islamist extremist terror incidents targeting the United States increased in 2024 after several years of reduced activity, according to a new ADL evaluation. Federal and state authorities have arrested individuals in seven different incidents on charges related to five unsuccessful plots and two actual attacks in the past year. At least three of these incidents targeted Jewish or Israeli individuals, institutions or businesses. As Oren Segal, VP of the ADL Center on Extremism explained: “In this year, which has been marked by support for and glorification of terrorist organizations at anti-Israel demonstrations across the country, the increase in terrorist plots and attacks
serves as a stark reminder of the persistent threat posed by these groups and their ideologies.” READ the ADL report here.

WATCH: The ‘Jew-Hunt’ Pogrom in Amsterdam and Beyond: It Could Happen Here: In a compelling event that took place earlier this week at The Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center in NY, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and New York Times
columnist Bret Stephens delved into the alarming rise of antisemitism in Europe. They explored the double standards at play and shared insights on how leaders can effectively protect communities from the growing threat of extremism. As Stephens keenly noted about those double standards: “The longest anti-colonial struggle in history is Zionism.” VIEW the event’s recording here.
The Future Will Need More People Like Rabbi Kogan: In a joint op-ed by ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and Dr. Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, a UAE official and Chairman of the Manara Center, they wrote eloquently that:
This past year has tested the resolve of peacemakers everywhere. The horrific murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan in the UAE this past weekend was a stark reminder of the threats we face. Rabbi Kogan’s brutal kidnapping and killing was not just a brazen act of terrorism perpetrated against the Jewish community; it was an attack on the vision of coexistence, on the whole Emirati community and those who reside within its soil. … Rabbi Kogan’s legacy will endure as a beacon of hope, guiding us in our efforts to build bridges, counter hatred, and stand united against extremism.
