The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) is launching a $35 million initiative to hire 100 professionals and expand advocacy efforts against rising antisemitism across 120 communities. This expansion comes in response to a significant increase in antisemitic incidents, particularly after the October 7th attacks. The "Frontline" initiative will bolster local and state advocacy, educational outreach, and interfaith partnerships, aiming to provide communities with enhanced resources and strategies to combat hate.
