Combatting Hate & Antisemitism
Since October 7, antisemitism has increased 337% in the United States with global incidents on the rise as well. Across the US, Jewish institutions including synagogues, campus Hillels, and schools are being targeted among others. We have compiled this list of organizations that are actively working to advocate for elected officials to support Israel and take steps to combat antisemitism and respond to incidents of hate. We have also included local initiatives that were submitted to DJCF’s Funder’s File to support populations affected by acts of hate and antisemitism. We recognize that it is not comprehensive, and we encourage you to give to the organizations that most speak to you.
Below is a vetted list of trusted nonprofit organizations actively combatting antisemitism. While it is not exhaustive, we hope it serves as a meaningful starting point. We encourage you to give to the efforts that resonate most with you.
