We are devastated by the deadly shooting at the @islamicsandiego. No one should fear for their safety while attending a house of worship or school.

Our hearts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the broader Muslim community during this horrific moment. ADL and the ADL Center on Extremism are monitoring the situation closely.

[Shira Goodman @SJGoodman]

@JGreenblattADL Thinking of your family. May your mother's memory be for a blessing.

[ADL @ADL]

ADL recorded a total of 6,274 incidents of antisemitic assault, harassment and vandalism across the U.S. in 2025.

That's an average of 17 incidents per day, which is more than double the average of 8 incidents per day between 2020 and 2022.

[Shira Goodman @SJGoodman]

Vigilance and continued action are needed to keep campuses safe and welcoming for Jewish and all students, staff and faculty.

[ADL @ADL]

Campus disruptions are escalating as the year ends: encampments at Occidental and Smith, hundreds of vandalism incidents at Swarthmore, student government votes to defund Hillel. Campus leaders must enforce policies and protect Jewish members of campus communities. Read our statement: https://t.co/q6XIexZmE6

Tonight, on the first night of Passover, Jews around the world will gather around the Seder table to retell the story of the Israelites’ liberation from slavery. Each and every year, we fulfill a unique command: “And you shall tell your children.”

We transform an ancient narrative into a present-day obligation — because the pursuit of freedom, and the fight against antisemitism and hate, are not confined to history.

From our ADL family to yours, we wish you a Happy Passover.

Chag Sameach.

Please listen to this important conversation between my friends and colleagues @scottarichman and @ElyssaK about the horrific attack on Temple Israel and its impact on the Jewish community.

[ADL @ADL]

On the latest #FromTheFrontlines, @scottarichman sits down with @ADLMichigan's @ElyssaK as she reflects on the recent antisemitic terrorist attack at her synagogue in West Bloomfield. She shares the realities of navigating that moment as both a community member and an ADL professional, and what recovery has looked like since. Listen here 🎧: https://t.co/TeCWRdxeDq

Great weekend so far for Michigan bball — men’s and women’s! Go Blue!

[Jonathan Greenblatt @JGreenblattADL]

Student governments at @UWMadison and @ColoradoStateU just passed resolutions calling for divestment from Israel and anyone with ties to it, accusing the Jewish state of "genocide." As my colleague @SJGoodman said, "these measures risk fueling division on campus."

Universities are meant for open dialogue and exchange, not boycotts that shut down engagement and isolate Jewish students. @UWMadison is right to investigate and push back against this. We must hold the line against antisemitism disguised as activism. https://t.co/QqOm7O35tN

[Shira Goodman @SJGoodman]

Very cool and impactful work from my colleagues!

[ADL @ADL]

The ADL Online Gaming Leaderboard will serve as a resource for parents wondering whether an online game is safe for their child. As ADL's @danieljkelley said, this is "the most comprehensive evaluation of safety measures in online multiplayer games to date, with a focus on how companies manage antisemitism and extremism." https://t.co/C9cVfoWLBx

“It felt like a reunion in many cases — seeing people you know, learning and growing, and seeing for the first time in a while: hope. Knowing you are not alone in this fight. That is the magic of the experience.” #NeverIsNow

[ADL @ADL]

"This was not simply a conference. It was a community coming together — to learn, to grieve, to compare notes, to find allies, and, perhaps most unexpectedly, to feel hope."

What a sad but beautiful moment at #NeverIsNow yesterday. May their memories be a blessing and may we be inspired to action.

[ADL @ADL]

From Mississippi to Boulder, Michigan, the UK and Australia, communities impacted by antisemitic violence are not alone. Today at #NeverIsNow, we honored those we’ve lost and recognized the resilience of these communities.

Thank you, Zach Shemper (Beth Israel Congregation, MS), Susan Rona (@ADLMtnStates), Elyssa Schmier (@ADLMichigan) @PhilR_R (@BoardofDeputies) and Daniel Aghion (@ECAJewry), for standing united against hate and reminding us what’s at stake: not policies or statistics, but people’s lives.

[Shira Goodman @SJGoodman]

So excited for my team to launch this new project today!

[ADL @ADL]

ADL is proud to launch #Hazak: Jewish Venture Accelerator — a new initiative to strengthen the fight against antisemitism by accelerating the impact of grassroots and community organizations.

Two days after the horrific shooting at Tree of Life, I was with leaders of Black and Latino churches in Pittsburgh. The clergy gathered around the Jews and offered a blessing. It was the first moment I could breathe. None of us is safe unless we all are.

[ADL @ADL]

Thank you to our partners at @LULAC for standing in solidarity with Temple Israel and the Jewish community. The fight against antisemitism is inseparable from the fight against all forms of hate. Together, we send a clear message — hate has no place in our houses of worship. https://t.co/WPsgOqqr7b

1/ Attacks on synagogues worldwide have escalated over the past decade — picking up sharply after the Hamas-led October 7 terror massacre. From Michigan to Manchester, we've documented over 50 incidents across the globe. 🧵https://t.co/saKf8dBUZW

[Shira Goodman @SJGoodman]

We should all be safe wherever we pray, learn and come together in community. Our kids have never been to a Jewish school, camp or event without passing by guards and gates. This is what passes for normal but it shouldn’t have to be.

[ADL @ADL]

As @jgreenblattadl said on @Morning_Joe, nearly “every synagogue in America, every Jewish day school, every Jewish summer camp has a security director.”

No parent should have to worry about whether their preschooler is safe in class. No rabbi should wonder if their synagogue is next. No community should have to live in fear. Yet here we are.

[ADL @ADL]

There’s been a surge in violence targeting synagogues this year. Today’s attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, MI is the 3rd major synagogue attack in the US in less than 3 months — and the 6th in North America following a spate of synagogue attacks in Toronto last week.

Our 2024 Audit recorded 1,702 incidents targeting Jewish institutions, including 627 bomb threats. Jewish communities deserve safety.

[Shira Goodman @SJGoodman]

Thanks to Andrea and Melissa of The Kibbitz for having me on to talk about @ADL 2026 Campus Antisemitism Report Card, the state of things on campus, and what parents need to know right now!

[ADL @ADL]

Listen to Cincinnati Moms get their questions answered about what's happening on campus, how universities are responding, and what parents need to know about campus antisemitism.

ADL's @sjgoodman joins The Kibbitz podcast for a conversation about Jewish life on campus, featuring key findings from ADL's latest Campus Antisemitism Report Card. 🎧 https://t.co/EsWr37N3Pr

[Shira Goodman @SJGoodman]

Countering antisemitism on campus requires ongoing work and sustained vigilance.

[ADL @ADL]

48% of non-Jewish students witnessed or experienced antisemitism on campus in the past year. That's a sobering reality. While ADL's 2026 Campus Report Card shows schools are finally enforcing policies, and grades of the schools we assessed are rising, the levels of antisemitism on campuses remain alarming. We've made progress, but we can't stop now. Read more from @jns_org: https://t.co/t3XM4jKHFA

[ADL @ADL]

Our 2026 Campus Report Card is in: 42% of the 150 schools assessed are not doing enough to protect Jewish members of their campus communities adequately. 

Urge your Member of Congress to do their part by voting for the Protecting Students on Campus Act: https://t.co/kS0BtUIr7x

[Shira Goodman @SJGoodman]

Progress is being made but vigilance is necessary! Keeping campuses safe and welcoming is a matter of will.

[ADL @ADL]

The 2026 ADL Campus Report Card shows progress is possible: of the 135 schools we assessed last year, 47% of them went up either one or two letter grades this year.

Of the 150 total schools assessed in this year's Report Card, the percentage of schools earning A/B grades jumped from 23.5% to 58% in 2 years.

But with our new campus climate survey showing 48% of non-Jewish students are witnessing or experiencing anti-Jewish bias, we can't stop now.
