Agudah NJ Director Shlomo Schorr released the following message, urging New Jersey’s Jewish community to take action in the fight against antisemitism.
Dear community member,
The NJ Senate State Government, Wagering, and Tourism committee will be holding a second day of testimony on Thursday for a bill which proposes the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism within the state of New Jersey.
The IHRA definition of antisemitism provides a clear framework for identifying and addressing acts of hatred and discrimination against Jewish people and serves as an essential tool for law enforcement in combating threat of antisemitism in our communities.
Unfortunately, opponents of the bill have been mobilizing in opposition and it is imperative that supporters of the bill contact their legislators to show support and urge them to vote in favor as well.
