From the Frontlines

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight hate and antisemitism in the United States and around the world. In the battle against hate, social media has become a critical and troubling frontline. That is why ADL created the Center for Technology & Society in 2017. Often dubbed ADL’s office on Silicon Valley, it fights hate in digital spaces. Yael Eisentat is the new Vice President of this important part of ADL's work, and she joined this episode of "From the Frontlines" to discuss her background and vision for the Center for Technology & Society.

It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight hate and antisemitism in the United States and around the world, including in Israel. Though the work in Israel is different from the work in the United States, it is still about combatting bias and bigotry. And, once a year, all of this work comes together in something called “Israel Social Cohesion Week.” This is a national platform to discuss some of the most pressing issues in Israeli society. This week of activities will run this year from November 13th to the 17th. Carole Nuriel, the Director of ADL’s office in Israel, and the visionary for social cohesion week, was the featured guest on this edition of "From the Frontlines" to tell us all of the details.

In this battle, our campuses have unfortunately become a frontline. Its most radical expressions often leave Jewish students feeling angry, unwelcome and even unsafe. How best to equip young people to respond when they encounter antisemitism or anti-Israelism on campus is the subject of today's show, which features an important tool called Think. Plan. Act.

It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight hate and antisemitism in the United States and around the world. In the battle against antisemitism and hate, our campuses have unfortunately become a frontline. In particular, attacks on Israel have gone beyond mere criticism, sometimes manifesting in antisemitism. Its most radical expressions often leave Jewish students feeling angry, unwelcome and even unsafe. The situation on our campuses is a dynamic one, which is why ADL issues an “Annual Assessment of Anti-Israel Activism on U.S. Campuses.” This year’s 2021-2022 report has just been released, and Lauren Post joined the podcast to provide the details. She is an analyst in ADL’s Center on Extremism focused on researching anti-Israel and anti-Zionist trends and developments.

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight hate and antisemitism in the United States and around the world. Since the horrific shooting in Buffalo by a white supremacist, the threat of domestic extremism has been front and center in the battle against hate. One of ADL’s responses was to form an historic partnership with the National Urban League with funding from the Joyce Foundation to launch Project CODE, which stands for Collaborative Organizations to End Domestic Extremism. The idea is that these two organizations will work in tandem to create a collaborative space for a wide range of civil society organizations to connect and address political violence. While it was announced in June, its formal launch was this week in September. Jackie Subar, ADL's Director of Strategic Initiatives in the Government Affairs and Community Engagement office, joined "From the Frontlines" to provide the details.

At the end of August, Basel, Switzerland was the place to be for a very special gathering. It was there that 125 years ago to the day, Theodore Herzl held the first Zionist Congress. Thousands descended this year on this beautiful town to remember that historic event, to appreciate both Herzl’s vision and foresight, and to reflect on how far the Zionist dream has come since then. Among the cadre of leaders in attendance were ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and ADL Israel Director Carole Nuriel. Carole was the featured guest on this podcast. She shared her thoughts on this unique gathering, as well as ADL’s role. This podcast originally aired as a radio show on September 10, 2022 on WVOX 1460 AM.

It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight hate and antisemitism in the United States and around the world. Following the tragic attack in Buffalo by a white supremacist in May, ADL worked with leading advocacy organizations, such as the National Urban League and the National Action Network, to call on the White House to hold a summit on violent extremism and hate-fueled violence. ADL is incredibly grateful to see that President Biden and the Administration has heeded that call with the “United We Stand Summit to Combat Violent Extremism” taking place at the White House as this show was airing. Max Sevillia joined "From the Frontlines" to discuss the details. He is the ADL’s Vice President for Government Relations, Advocacy and Community Engagement.

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight hate and antisemitism in the United States and around the world. A frontline in the fight against hate is the battle against extremists, such as the Oath Keepers. But, one year ago, those fighting this battle were given a gift. The Oath Keepers data base of 38,000 names was leaked by a group of journalists. Through painstaking analysis, ADL has looked at every one of those 38,000 names and analyzed who they are. Those in positions of power are obviously of greatest concern. That analysis by the ADL's Center on Extremism was just released, and Alex Friedfeld played a lead role. He is an Investigative Researcher in ADL’s Center on Extremism, and he was the guest on today’s show to tell us what he found.
