BJBE’s task force to combat antisemitism formed prior to the tragic events of October 7, 2023 and since then has worked on programming focused both on the repercussions of that event specifically as well as on a wider campaign of education and action to fight antisemitism wherever it arises. From hosting discussions with concerned parents of college-aged children to presenting programming on recognizing and responding to inaccurate propaganda to learning the proper ways to engage in civil discourse, BJBE remains committed to fighting antisemitism with facts, compassion, and action.
