The Collective Power of Jewish Cleveland's Campaign

The times in which we live are critical and constantly changing around us. In the past few years, we have faced a global pandemic and a war in Ukraine. Over the last 12 months, Israel has been drawn into a war with Hamas while defending itself from other terrorist groups. At the same time, the Jewish people have been targeted with a level of hatred and violence not seen in generations.

Combating the hatred confronting the Jewish people has long been a top priority of ours. As anti-Jewish and anti-Israel rhetoric continues to rise, we need your help!
