Combating Hate
What We’re Doing
We have long-standing relationships with civic, faith, and business leaders throughout Buffalo. We learn from one another and explore more ways we can demonstrate a deepened commitment to fight hate together.
We provide a wide range of educational programming and resources for teens and college students to help them address the antisemitism they face at school and online. We also help them build positive, supportive relationships with other segments of the school’s population to help root out the underlying factors that are feeding this hatred.
Through Secure Jewish Buffalo – we work closely with law enforcement to help keep Jewish Buffalo open and welcoming to all. We continuously look to improve the security protocols and practices to make clear hate has no place here.
