Today, Jews and Jewish institutions are facing antisemitism with alarming frequency, and the trend is worsening: 2021 was the highest year on record for antisemitic incidents in the U.S. according to ADL’s annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents. To confront this disturbing trend, ADL created the COMBAT Plan. We urgently need action at all levels of government.

Each year, ADL conducts a nationally representative survey of hate and harassment online to find out how many Americans experience incidents of hate and abuse on social media. Our fourth survey finds that harassment remains unacceptably prevalent, despite platforms’ efforts to curb it. Marginalized groups, including Jews, women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ people, experience online harassment based on their identity at disproportionately high levels.
This year, ADL has added a separate survey of youth ages 13-17. This, as far as we know, is the first nationally representative survey in the U.S. of young people’s experiences of hate and harassment on social media. Explore the summary and ADL’s recommendations below. | |

ADL is launching a new program called Kulanu: Synagogues in Action Against Antisemitism as part of an effort to support synagogues in the fight against antisemitism and hate with their congregations and in their broader communities.
Kulanu, meaning “all of us” in Hebrew, is an eight-month program that will offer selected synagogues who are not yet part of the Signature Synagogue program exclusive access to expert insight and webinars, an opportunity to be part of a community of practice, and work to build meaningful connections between synagogues working together to address antisemitism.
Kulanu grew out of a six-month pilot co-developed by ADL and the Union for Reform Judaism that involved 18 congregations across the United States. Kulanu will welcome congregations from all denominations to further ADL’s goal of equipping Jewish and community-based institutions everywhere with the tools they need to address rising levels of antisemitism and hate.
