STAFF REPORT

Jewish Federation of St. Louis, along with Jewish Federations of North America, invited the local community to join them for a day of action against anti-Semitism. They are hosting this program in partnership with organizations such as the American Jewish Committee; Anti-Defamation League; Hadassah; the Orthodox Union;  WZOA, Inc.,  Reconstructing Judaism; Union for Reform Judaism; and United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism

The effort includes a virtual rally today, May 27, at 3 p.m., which will feature prominent government officials as well as leaders from the Jewish community and civil rights organizations, among others.

According to organizers, “There has been a surge in anti-Semitism in the United States and around the world. This hate is unacceptable, and inaction is inexcusable. This day will give you the tools to amplify your voice with thousands more to demand action.”
