"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast which brings listeners to the frontline in the battle against antisemitism and hate.

In the one-year period from October 7, 2023 to October 7, 2024, ADL tracked and responded to more than 10,000 incidents of antisemitism across the country. That is approximately 3 times the highest number of incidents ever recorded since ADL began tracking these reports in 1979. The highest percentage increase took place on our college campuses, and Title VI claims have become a critical tool in the battle against antisemitism and other forms of hate on those campuses. A few weeks ago, under the auspices of ADL’s activist group in Westchester, New York, these three distinguished panelists discussed this important topic:

1. Rachel Grinspan, ADL’s Associate General Counsel

2. Rachel Klein, Executive Director of Hillels of Westchester, and

3. Michael Scheffler, Counsel for Hillels of Westchester and a partner at the law firm of Blank Rome.

This is an edited version that was created for the podcast audience.
