Op-Eds

EJC President Dr Moshe Kantor’s op-ed in Jerusalem Post: “Focusing on Youth is the Next Front in the Fight Against Antisemitism”

“Antisemitism thrives in environments of instability, ignorance, and alienation. It can only be contained by building societies that offer the opposite: stability, knowledge, and belonging. That means investing in young people, not just as a moral obligation, but as a strategic necessity,” says EJC President Dr Moshe Kantor.
