A Guide for Allies: Addressing Antisemitism
This resource focuses on providing allies with the information they need to identify, understand and address anti-Jewish harm. It addresses the support we need, and dives deep into antisemitic harms we are seeing today.
Discussing "Colonialism" Resource Guide
One of the most challenging issues we have encountered is accusations of colonialism. This guide helps create an understanding of the dehumanizing frameworks this is built on, and how to address the anti-Jewish ideas that it spreads.
Discussing "Genocide" Resource Guide
As the war in Gaza continues, the accusation that Israel is committing genocide has only grown stronger. This guide helps you address this issue with your progressive friends, who may not realize how this rhetoric can cause harm to Jews worldwide.
Explaining Jewish Identity and Antisemitism
Most don't know what it means to be Jewish, or what antisemitism is and how it works. Understanding these are necessary to help people recognize and address anti-Jewish ideas.
Antisemitism in Action Supplement
This supplement is designed to provide supporting information you can use in your "Story of the Jewish People" by highlighting instances of antisemitism and violence against Jews throughout history, from ancient times to present day.
