Antisemitism

Antisemitism is on the rise across the country, and New Hampshire is not immune. In recent years, we have seen an increase in antisemitic rhetoric, vandalism, and incidents affecting our Jewish community. The Jewish Federation of New Hampshire stands with you, and we are committed to taking action.

 

The Federation is actively working to combat antisemitism through advocacy, education, security, and community support. We have testified at the State House, engaged with our elected officials, worked with law enforcement to strengthen security at Jewish institutions, and educated the broader community about the dangers of antisemitism.

 

We know these are difficult and sometimes frightening times. Please remember that you are not alone. If you experience or witness antisemitism, please report it using our Report a General Incident button, or, for school-related incidents, our Report a School-Related Incident button. You may also contact Jessie Mocle, Director of Community Advocacy, at [email protected].

 

Together, we will stand strong and ensure that Jewish life in New Hampshire not only endures, but thrives.

 

Jewish Federation of North America (JFNA) has adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism:

Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.
