BOSTON
“As the Hanukkah season ended Dec. 6, The New England Council was pleased to join a coalition of 60 North American organizations, including corporations, in support of the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) Shine A Light on anti-semitism national initiative. This national initiative will illuminate the dangers of anti-semitism through education, community partnerships, workplace engagement and advocacy.
“Amid a widespread rise in anti-semitism in North America, Shine A Light seeks to catalyze conversations within and across communities, on school campuses, and in the workplace, so that people will better understand what constitutes anti-semitism and take steps to respond. The nationwide campaign was launched on Nov. 28, 2021, the first day of Hanukkah, and includes a wide array of resources for corporate partners.
The New England Council encourages members to consider becoming a Shine a Light corporate partner.
Shine A Light also includes community and educational events around the country; educational resources for teachers, parents, and school districts; advertising; and social media tools. Learn more here.
