The FJMC International working group on Anti-Semitism and Israel provides you with the proactive tools, practices and resources on Israel and antisemitism.
Objective:
- Engage Jewish men so that they have a central resource for Israel and the Jewish community in a time of crisis.
- Support Jewish men as they process and experience the Israel-Gaza conflict and guide themselves and their families.
- Support non-Jewish men who support the Jewish community/Jewish families as they find their way when the Jewish community is in crisis.
- Combating antisemitism when it is a result of these crises.
- Curate the work that the Committee has been developing.
The Committee to Combat Antisemitism has been successful in sharing information and guiding advocacy against antisemitism during the past year. We are part of the FJMC Programming Jewish Life team, led by VP Benny Sommerfeld.
