"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 antisemitism and all forms of hate in the United States and around the world. In this battle, we worry not just about reacting to antisemitic incidents. We also need to be concerned with changing attitudes towards the Jewish minority in the United States. That is why the results of ADL’s new Survey of Antisemitic Attitudes in America is so shocking and troublesome. It shows a clear rise in antisemitic attitudes since the last survey was done - just before the pandemic. Vlad Khaykin joined this show to unpack the details of this just-released survey which he helped conduct. He is ADL’s National Director of Programs on Antisemitism.

"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 antisemitism and all forms of hate in the United States and around the world. In the battle against hate, an all-too-frequent target is the LGBTQ+ community. In the past few months, ADL has tracked many very disturbing incidents, including physical violence, death threats, conspiracy theories and misinformation. ADL has worked for decades to protect the LGBTQ+ community, which is why this moment demanded bold action. This bold action came in the form of a formal partnership between ADL and GLAAD, the LGBTQ+ media advocacy organization. Sarah Moore joined this show to discuss this new partnership. She is a new ADL staff member, as well as a new GLAAD staff member, serving as an analyst in ADL’s Center on Extremism. As part of the partnership, she works for both organizations.

It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight antisemitism and all forms of hate in the United States and around the world. In this battle, online games have unfortunately become a breeding ground. ADL’s annual report on experiences in online multiplayer games shows that the spread of hate, harassment, and extremism in these digital spaces continues to grow unchecked. This is a problem as over 215 million people of all ages play video games as part of this $203 billion industry. Daniel Kelley joined the show to unpack the details of this year’s report which he authored. He is ADL’s Director of Strategy and Operations for ADL’s Center for Technology and Society.

"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 this battle, synagogues are a force for good, galvanizing the energy of the Jewish community. That is why ADL created the Signature Synagogue program four years ago to bring synagogues more deeply into the fight and to work directly with ADL. Recently, ADL introduced a new program called Kulanu to engage even more synagogues in this battle. What is it?, how does it work?, and how can your community get involved? were discussed on this show with ADL’s Tema Smith. She directs Jewish Outreach and Partnerships for the organization. For more information on Kulanu and a list of participating synagogues, visit: https://www.adl.org/apply-kulanu. This podcast originally aired as a radio show on December 6, 2022 on WVOX 1460 AM.

"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 this battle, ADL’s education programs are a key tool. They touch millions of students annually across this country in K-12 schools, as well as law enforcement professionals. They include anti-bias and anti-bullying programs, Holocaust education initiatives and programs specifically designed to fight antisemitism. What are they exactly?, how do they work?, and why are they are so effective? is the subject of this show. Nancy Kaplan has been a facilitator for decades for these programs, and she was the guest on this show. For more information on ADL's education programs, visit: https://www.adl.org/about/education.

"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 troubling frontline. Unlike traditional media, there are no legislative guardrails. That is, until this past summer when the California Assembly passed a landmark piece of legislation known as AB 587. Among other things, it requires social media companies to submit reports detailing violations of their policies which would then be publicly searchable. ADL played a major role in helping to pass this historic legislation, especially Kendall Kosai, Director of Policy for the Western Division of ADL. Kendall joined the show to discuss AB 587, how it can be a game changer and his hope that it will be adopted by other states.
