Jill and I stand with the Jewish community in Australia as they face unimaginable loss and suffering following a targeted attack at a Hanukkah celebration. It’s shocking and unconscionable. We must unite against violence and antisemitism, and give hate no safe harbor anywhere in

📺 WOW! Today President @JoeBiden rang the bell at Penn Medicine — new photos and videos shared by Ashley Biden capture the incredible moment. Ashley said her dad has been “so damn brave” during his treatment. It even looks like he brought flowers for his doctor — which is so

🚨 I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it was President @JoeBiden who secured the release of 140 hostages in Gaza. Trump? Just 28. That means Biden was responsible for 83% of all the hostages freed — yet you’d never know it from the way the media talks. If anyone deserves

Jewish clinicians in the mental health field are being marginalized — and it’s time for action. Caroline Kaufman calls out urgent, unchecked antisemitism in the APA and beyond. We can’t afford silence. https://t.co/AVEayG80zL

We are aware of reports of an attack at today's Boulder Run for Their Lives event - a weekly meeting of Jewish community members to run/walk in support of the hostages kidnapped on 10/7. ADL is monitoring the situation in Colorado as we approach the holiday of Shavuot.
