  • August 25, 2022
Share Tweet Share Follow Follow Email Print

Antisemitism is one of the oldest forms of hatred, and with reports of antisemitic incidents rising, it sadly is not going away anytime soon. This week, the CAM partner coalition wrote articles and participated in events that address antisemitism as it exists today. Additionally, the coalition is planning upcoming events about the Holocaust, how it is remembered, and its continued effect on Jews to this day.  

Here is a sampling of how the coalition has made a difference this week:

 

Spotlight

JIMENA: Earlier this week, the 1st National Cohort of the Sephardic Leaders Fellowship met for the first time. The cohort will meet bimonthly to learn from top Mizrahi and Sephardic leaders, scholars, activists, and rabbis from around the world.

J’accuse: In early August, Jules Kragen, the acting Executive Director of the J’accuse, was the victim of antisemitic vandalism when a swastika was carved into his car. He saw the incident as an opportunity to speak out because he believes education is a crucial component of fighting antisemitism.
