NEAJAC Teacher Antisemitism Detection Checklist Click below for a checklist to help identify antisemitism in your school community. The NEAJAC worked very hard to create this checklist aligned with the IHRA definition of antisemitism. You can learn more about their organization here. 

A Lethal Hatred: Dr. Lekht's Teacher's Guide on Antisemitism. Dr. Naya Lekht's curriculum teaches the unique hatred of Anti-semitism and its history. This is very important especially in this period where teachers and administrators seem unable to identify it, so they cannot prevent it. 

We are the first Jewish organization to have appealed to the DOE and OCR for change in k-12 and to appeal for a federal adoption of the IHRA. You can sign our petition here, as we will continue to submit to these governmental departments and agencies.

Take Legal Action: SafeJewish.com has 100+ lawyers who work pro bono or on 100% contingency basis. There is NEVER any cost.

SafeJewish.com does not oversee the process, nor do they receive any compensation. 

Lawyers who want to help can sign up as well. 

Also The Lawfare Project can sometimes assist Jewish students, teachers &  families.
