Sadly, incidences of Anti-Semitism are becoming increasingly prevalent. Last year, Massachussetts had more incidences of Anti-Semitism than all but three states. Increasingly our children come home from school having seen a swastika in the bathroom, or having heard an Anti-Semitic joke. And we know all too well what Anti-Semitism leads to.
We Jews are canaries in the coal mine. Anti-Semitism is not just scary for us, but also a harbinger of hatred and oppression for all peoples. We cannot stand by. Hate has no place in our world.
