Confronting Antisemitism

By Marvin Schlanger

Confronting Antisemitism is a call to courage, clarity, and community.

In a time of rising antisemitism, this guide offers practical actions grounded in Jewish life, civic responsibility, and shared accountability to help individuals and communities respond with strength rather than silence. While there is no single way to act, there is a responsibility to act.

The guide is designed to build clarity through a framework of actions that help ensure engagement is intentional, boundaries are firm, and responsibility is shared rather than borne alone.
