Do you feel that the social fabric of America is tearing?
Watch this video about Jews and Muslims in American healthcare to learn about social cohesion for the good of all.
Wonderful to see Jews, Christians, and Muslims joining hands to clean up the Des Plaines trail in Illinois.
This heartwarming collaboration is a beautiful testament to our shared humanity, united in service for the common good.

To confront bigotry and the violence it fuels we must understand it. These film-makers, one the victim of a hate crime, show that hate can be overcome and even in some cases transformed into respect.

A community was shaken when a man used his car in an attempted attack against visibly Jewish people outside a Jewish school in Brooklyn, NY.
We are grateful to @NYPDHateCrimes for arresting and charging the alleged attacker appropriately.

Few haters limit their hate to just one group.
Glad to see a man responsible for multiple hate crimes (antisemitic, anti-female, and anti-White) indicted for his actions.

No one should be targeted for their faith and this hit-and-run crash outside a mosque in Minneapolis is reprehensible.
We thank @CityMinneapolis for investigating this incident as possible hate crime, & we hope those responsible are brought to justice. kstp.com/kstp-news/local-new…
People of faith play an important role in preventing anti-Muslim & anti-Jewish hate in communities. Join @S2Scampaign with special guests from @interfaithusa for a program on "Understanding & addressing anti-Muslim & anti-Jewish hate & discrimination."

Great to see the progress made to address hate crimes in California.
Funding for a hate crimes hotline to connect victims with needed services was made available through the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act, a bipartisan bill that MJAC championed.

Take some time today, #YomHashoah, to learn about the Nazi genocide, the antisemitism that fueled it, and what we can all do today to stand against hate in our society. 2/3

We applaud the efforts to make education in schools a part of New York City's response to the surge in hate crimes.
When our students have a better understanding of hate and the tools to respond, all communities will benefit.
