SUMMARY:Effective Communication Strategies for Countering Antisemitism
DESCRIPTION:You know what antisemitism is. Now learn how to respond. \nAntisemitism can surface at work\, in schools\, online\, and in everyday conversations—but knowing what to say in the moment isn’t always easy. This interactive\, research-based workshop from ADL’s Center for Antisemitism Research provides practical tools to respond with clarity and confidence. Learn strategies for addressing antisemitism\, countering harmful narratives without escalating conflict\, and communicating in ways that reflect your values and strengthen community. \n \nAriel Novick is the Regional Director for the Pacific Northwest at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL)\, where she leads efforts to counter antisemitism and build partnerships across government\, education\, and civil society. Her work focuses on turning difficult conversations into practical action—supporting synagogue leaders\, university administrators and policymakers as they navigate and respond to rising hate.
