Dear John,
In recent years, many Jewish students on campus have felt besieged by criticism of Israel that crosses the line into antisemitism at colleges and universities across the U.S. This week, ADL will be releasing a new report on how to address anti-Israel activity on campus.
Following the release of the report, please join us this Thursday, May 28 at 2 PM ET/11 AM PT, for an important conversation about when anti-Israel rhetoric crosses the line into antisemitism with Adam Lehman, CEO of Hillel International, and Ali Rosenblatt,
who was a student leader at the University of Michigan.
During this Fighting Hate from Home webinar, Lehman and Rosenblatt will talk with ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt about how to create a safer environment for students connected to Israel on campus, the free speech implications when anti-Israel activists attempt to disrupt pro-Israel speakers, and how campus administrators should respond to academic boycotts against Israel.
If you are a student, know a student, or are just concerned about the frequent headlines regarding Jewish students on campus being targeted by anti-Israel activists, we encourage you to join us.

Last Week’s Webinar
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt talked with Mayor Andy Berke of Chattanooga and Mayor Greg Fischer of Louisville about the challenges that cities and their residents face.
Mayors Berke and Fischer are working hard to ensure that public health and economic security are both priorities, that the strained social safety net be reinforced, and that solutions to COVID-linked problems like the disruption of in-person education be handled in ways that address economic disparities. The mayors vowed to use the ‘secular pulpit’ of their position to urge empathy for everyone in their community while fighting the pandemic, and to speak out against any outbursts of hate.
To watch and share the webinar, go to our Fighting Hate from Home playlist on YouTube. You can watch each webinar in the growing series there.
