Partners in Action: CAM’s Coalition Taking a Stand Against Antisemitism

Each week, we highlight the activities of our partner organizations around the world who are doing amazing work to combat antisemitism.

Hanukkah symbolizes the Jewish people’s millennia-long struggle against assimilation and destruction attempts. The eight-day “Festival of Lights” sends an inspirational message to all humanity, yet also often is a time that Jewish communities worldwide experience a higher frequency of antisemitic attacks.

This Hanukkah, and at all other times of the year, the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) and its partner organizations are vigilantly monitoring contemporary manifestations of Jew-hatred and working relentlessly to forge a more tolerant future.
