We’re excited to partner with the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan for an investigation into the roots and manifestations of antisemitism in America. When antisemitism is on the rise, who are the most vulnerable targets? The “visibly Jewish” in our community, Orthodox (Modern Orthodox and Haredi) are disproportionately targeted for physical and verbal attacks.
Our esteemed panel, moderated by award-winning journalist Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt, will share both their lived experiences and their expertise as prominent professionals in the Orthodox world. With Nathan Diament, executive director of the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center; Laura E. Adkins, opinion editor of the Forward; Rabbi Eli Cohen, executive director of the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council; and Rabbi Motti Seligson, director of media relations, Chabad Lubavitch.

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news. All donations are still being matched by the Forward Board - up to $100,000 until April 24.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
