Jewish students are facing rising antisemitism right in their own schools.

This #GivingTuesday, help us fight back - and make sure no student navigates the halls alone.

Access to Jewish education matters.

Applications are now open for our Day School Tuition Fund, a three-year, $15 million pilot initiative to help make the choice of Jewish education — a vital part of children’s connection to Jewish life — possible for more people.

As Thanksgiving approaches, the recent government shutdown and SNAP crisis mean hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people are facing a tough holiday right now.

We are outraged by the demonstrations outside of Park East Synagogue. Calling for an intifada outside of a synagogue is antisemitic — and unacceptable.

We are horrified by the blatant antisemitism on display in newly released audio from a recent event at City College, and we call on CUNY officials to ensure incidents like this cannot and will not happen again.

With fall giving way to colder days, we're warming the challah as we welcome a chilly Shabbat. 🍂

We loved seeing students from our partner, Hillel at Binghamton, come together for a fun-filled day of apple picking.

Wishing you a restful and cozy #ShabbatShalom.

Chess legend Garry Kasparov and comedian
Elon Gold also reminded us that a strong and cohesive Jewish community is the best defense against hate.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a night that inspired pride and purpose in the shared fight against antisemitism.

Journalists @biannagolodryga.bsky.social and Yonit Levi joined moderator Rafaela Siewert for a thoughtful conversation about how we — as adults, parents, and community members — can respond to hate with strength and unity.

Last night, our community filled the @streickercenter.bsky.social for a powerful evening on confronting antisemitism with courage and action.

Rent or groceries? Diapers or milk? Even when the government reopens, families in need will face tough questions and painful shortages and delays in receiving their SNAP benefits.

To honor #VeteransDay, our staff members shared photos of loved ones who have proudly served our country. We're grateful to these veterans — and to all who have served — for their courage and sacrifice.

Eighty-seven years ago, #Kristallnacht marked the start of one of history’s darkest chapters. Today, as antisemitism becomes increasingly normalized, remembrance alone isn’t enough. We must speak out, stand up, and act — because #NeverAgain is now.

“I think there’s a reason God chose me to have this horrible experience – I have the opportunity to share my story with the world. I need to do it so people won’t forget. Everyone should know everything about what we went through.” – Emily Damari, former hostage.

We’re outraged by the antisemitic vandalism targeting Magen David Yeshiva in Brooklyn, where swastikas were spray-painted on the building overnight.

It’s #ElectionDay! Today’s the final day to vote in the General Election – and every single vote up and down the ballot matters. 🗳️

Tonight, we grieve the life of Omer Neutra, z"l, as his body and the bodies of two other hostages finally return to Israel.

We join so many New Yorkers, and so many around the world, in praying that Omer’s family, friends, and community can finally find some peace.
