🙌 Helping Jewish Students and their Families Have a Great School Year
Every student deserves to feel safe and included. Their families should feel heard and supported. And educators should have the trustworthy resources they need to effectively teach about challenging topics. That’s not too much to ask...
ADL is continuing our essential work to make this happen — reaching more students, more teachers and more school communities with the tools to confront antisemitism and educate about hate. We want to alert you about several major new reports and tools.
For campus concerns, ADL’s new “When Antisemitism Comes to Class” initiative includes:
For K-12 Schools, ADL’s Back to School Resources guide includes:
- FOR PARENTS: Toolkits and talking points to help parents and other caregivers be heard by schools as you speak up for Jewish students, as well as table talks to jumpstart family conversations about current events and other challenging topics.
- FOR TEACHERS: Classroom resources to teach about antisemitism, the Holocaust, Israel and other issues and the ADL Ora AI tool that pulls reliable information and lesson plans from our resource library.

🏛 Speak Out: Jewish students need your support, and the bipartisan Jewish American Security Act does three key things to help these students. The legislation, which ADL helped develop, gives schools access to training and resources so they can better prevent and respond to antisemitism. It creates a dedicated Antisemitism Coordinator in the Department of Education to lead federal efforts. And it establishes a new clearinghouse, so schools have one place to find best practices and safety guidance to protect Jewish students.
Click here to urge your members of Congress to support this bill.

🌍 Supporting European Jewish Students: ADL led a session about combating antisemitism at the recent Summer U program
held in Portugal for hundreds of Jewish students that was hosted by an ADL partner, the European Union of Jewish Students (EUJS). We also participated in the summit’s Opportunity Bazaar, where we lifted up our Words to Action (WTA) program. This coming academic year, ADL aims to broaden the already substantial impact of WTA in Europe. Sessions are being planned in more than 10 countries.
🎒 Schools are No Place for Hate: ADL EDU’s signature No Place for Hate program

If you think that a school in your community would benefit, please suggest that they sign up for an information session with our team to find out more. This session is only for education professionals.

🎙️ ADL continues to convene important conversations about antisemitism. Recently, ADL Michigan co-hosted a first-of-its-kind roundtable on antisemitism with Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, bringing together Jewish community members for a candid conversation about the impact of rising anti-Jewish hate. Participants shared powerful personal stories about how recent incidents have affected their lives and communities, while Nessel spoke openly about her own experiences with antisemitism.
She also shared that she will not attend the Michigan Democratic Party’s August convention because she does not feel safe there, citing concerns about harassment and saying, “I feel like my presence isn’t going to be welcome.” Nessel reaffirmed her commitment to addressing antisemitism, and the discussion underscored the importance of continued partnership between community leaders and public officials.
