Across K–12 education, students are encountering misinformation, distorted narratives, and gaps in understanding about Jews and Judaism. Educators and school systems lack the tools, training, or confidence to address these challenges in ways that are effective and sustainable.

Join us to examine strategies that strengthen curricula, improve educator preparedness, and shape learning environments that are informed, inclusive, and better equipped to counter antisemitism wherever it appears. Informed by a growing body of new research, we will see how funders and educators can prevent and undermine antisemitism through stronger Jewish literacy and more thoughtful education about Jews.

Findings from the Hillel's Student Discovery Research

Tuesday, January 27, 2026 | Zoom
2:00pm ET | 11:00am PT | 9:00pm IT

To address the complex world students face post-COVID and October 7th, Hillel International led a Student Discovery Research Initiative, supported by Common Era of the Jim Joseph Foundation, TEN: Together Ending Need, and The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation.
