WE ARE ONE against antisemitism

Combating antisemitism and hate

The JCRC will oppose and respond to antisemitism, as well as hate and discrimination against other groups. Where possible and appropriate, JCRC will do this in collaboration with other organizations. The JCRC supports efforts to ensure the freedom and safety of Jewish communities worldwide and promotes an understanding of world events, which challenge the dignity of all human beings. The JCRC will continue to perpetuate the memory of the unique atrocity of the Holocaust to ensure that it never happens again.

The Tough Talks Speaker Series is an online, webinar series that offers support for having difficult conversations with your children about antisemitism and the Holocaust, tailored to the age of your child. With antisemitism on the rise around the globe, it is essential to have these tough conversations with our children. Please keep an eye out for upcoming webinar events

A Small Blue Square with a Big Impact

Stand Up to Jewish Hate is a national campaign designed to raise awareness about antisemitism and hatred against Jews and to encourage all people to post and share the Blue Square to stand up against intolerance.

The blue square represents the American Jewish community, which is 2.4% of the U.S. population. Yet Jews are victim of 55% of all religious hate crimes in the United States. Let’s share this blue square to let them know they’re not fighting alone anymore.
