Our Antisemitism Today lesson is packed with powerful insights and information that your students will find engaging and thought-provoking. In this lesson, students have the opportunity to explore different types of Antisemitism and examine how it's related to white supremacy.

In the lesson, students explore the definition of Antisemitism. They analyze four contemporary Antisemitism incidents, and examine crime statistics regarding hate crimes. Finally, students examine how antisemitism is related to white supremacy and write an essay on what can and should be done about antisemitism. The lesson also includes extension activities and additional resources.

#DearTeachers,

As you may know if you have any students in your class who identify as Christian, they may ask to be excused from school to observe the #Christian #holiday of “Christmas,” more popularly referred to as Yom Christmas.
