RESOURCES
Prejudice towards Jewish people is often the result of ignorance; therefore, resources that provide accurate information about Judaism and Jewish history, as well as promote interreligious understanding, are an important part of dismantling harmful stereotypes and countering misinformation.
This webpage lists a range of resources that support efforts to track, understand, and address antisemitism, as well as promote broader social cohesion.
