The Battle We Must Fight:
ADL’s Ken Jacobson wrote a powerful op-ed about “Why Today’s Antisemitism is Different.” As he keenly notes: “The point has been made quite often that antisemitism is an evolving disease and finds new ways to appear. This is true here, but something more specific may be at work: a calculated but unstated effort to find a societal way to revive antisemitism in a deep way after the Holocaust. ... We will have to expose it for what it is — a battle that will be more important than ever and more challenging than ever, but one that we must fight.”

EVENT: Faith, Family and Football:
You are invited to ADL’s next Game Changers event, as we welcome former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz and his father, Lee Schwartz, on Dec. 16 at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT for a candid conversation about Jewish identity, family and resilience. Geoff spent eight seasons in the NFL and became, along with his brother Mitchell, the first Jewish siblings in the NFL since the 1920s. Today, he’s a national sports commentator. Lee will share the parent’s perspective from his book Raising Giants, reflecting on raising two Jewish athletes. The program will include a Q&A, so come with your questions.

WATCH: The Art of Fighting Hate:
We urge you to view the recording of our fascinating recent ‘Combating Antisemitism in the Art World’ event, a timely webinar hosted by ADL New York City about how to fight antisemitism in the fine arts. The discussion included experts across the field, including an artist, museum curator, art dealer, museum trustee and more. They talked about how antisemitism manifests within the art world and how we can all take action to combat it. VIEW the video here.
(This video clip from the event shows one of our speakers, Israeli artist Zoya Cherkassky, alongside a work in her ‘October 7 2023’ series.)
