Confronting Anti-Semitism
Programs and Resources
| Community Programs | Campus Programs | Resources
Our Confronting Anti-Semitism Program empowers the Jewish community to respond to anti-Semitic incidents and to challenge the persistent anti-Semitic stereotypes that are often at the root of these incidents.
The fear of being singled out as "different" and the risk of being viewed as an "outsider" are often cited as reasons why so many Jewish youth and adults remain silent in the face of anti-Semitism. A strong, positive Jewish identity is closely related to a willingness to respond to anti-Semitism.
Customized to meet the needs of various audiences, our interactive Confronting Anti-Semitism workshops help Jewish youth, family members, teachers, and community members to:
- explore and strengthen their Jewish identity
- confront insensitive or hateful comments
- challenge anti-Semitic myths with facts
- respond effectively to hate-motivated incidents.
Contact your ADL Regional Office for more information or to schedule a workshop.
Colleges and universities across the United States presently experience highly charged anti-Israel and anti-Zionist activity that sometimes goes beyond legitimate criticism of Israel and turns into hateful attacks against Jews and the Jewish state, such as:
- anti-Israel political protests
- anti-Semitic speakers
- Holocaust denial ads in campus newspapers
- anti-Israel divestment campaigns
- harassment of Jewish faculty and students
- hate incidents and hate crimes.
Our Confronting Anti-Semitism Program on Campus helps all members of the college campus community, including Jewish students, faculty, Jewish communal professionals and involved community members, to:
- combat anti-Semitic and anti-Israel attacks on campus
- respond effectively to hate-motivated incidents and hate crimes
- create more respectful and inclusive college environments.

Current and Future Leaders Study Mission to Israel
ADL’s Current and Future Leaders Study Mission to Israel invites a select group of diverse campus leaders to travel to Israel for a week. If possible, the students are joined by two Members of Congress or senior members of their staff, one Democrat and one Republican.
The annual Mission gives participants the opportunity to gain a deep and personal understanding of anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, modern Jewish history and the struggle for peace in the Middle East by engaging with decision makers, journalists, students and ordinary citizens.
Campus Editors Study Mission to Poland and Israel
The annual ADL Campus Editors Study Mission to Poland and Israel takes a diverse group of student journalists from across the country on a two-week trip to get a firsthand perspective on the news-making events in Arab-Israeli relations.
First the college journalists travel to Poland to explore pre-WW II Jewish life in Europe and learn about the Holocaust, touring the concentration camps Auschwitz and Majdanek and the areas once occupied by the Warsaw and Krakow ghettoes. Continuing on their journey, the students travel Israel extensively, visiting historic and religious sites and meeting with decision-makers on the frontlines of the conflict, representing both Israeli and Arab perspectives.
