Kulanu: Take Action Against College Campus Antisemitism

February 2025

TAKE ACTION AGAINST COLLEGE CAMPUS ANTISEMITISM

Jewish students across the country are facing a surge in antisemitism, yet too many schools fail to address the crisis. From rising hatred on college campuses to the lack of Holocaust education in schools, we must act now.


Temple Adat Elohim’s Kulanu Team is a small group of TAE congregants working together to develop programs to fight rising antisemitism. We are seeking new members to bring fresh ideas for educational and/or advocacy initiatives for our congregation, as well as the local community.
