Fighting Antisemitism
In recent times, we’ve witnessed an unsettling increase in antisemitic incidents, both locally and globally. It is a stark reminder that we must remain vigilant in safeguarding our San Diego Jewish community and its values. Our programs promote advocacy and education as we seek to set the record straight on antisemitism and foster a nuanced understanding of modern Jewish life, our connections to Israel, and the increased challenges we face as a people.
If you have experienced or witnessed an incident of antisemitism, extremism, bias, bigotry or hate, please report it using the incident form below, powered by ADL San Diego. Any personal information provided will be kept strictly confidential. If this is an emergency, please dial 9-1-1.

More Advocacy & Partnerships
Antisemitism Roundtable
Launched in early 2023, the Antisemitism Roundtable serves as a communal space for organizations addressing antisemitism to engage in information sharing, identify opportunities and challenges, and develop relationships that will strengthen our community’s approach to combat antisemitism.
Led and convened by our Federation, participating organizations include ADL San Diego, AJC San Diego, Hillel San Diego, Jewish Family Service San Diego, Lawrence Family JCC | JACOBS Family Campus, and Leichtag Foundation.
Project Shema
Project Shema is an independent nonprofit organization that trains and supports the Jewish community and allies to understand and address contemporary antisemitism, with an emphasis on how anti-Jewish ideas can emerge in progressive spaces and in discourse around Israel and Palestine.
Founded by Jewish leaders with deep ties in social justice movements, Project Shema brings a fresh and humanizing approach to these challenging issues. Named after the Hebrew word Shema, which means “to hear,” “to listen,” or “understand,” Project Shema works to deepen understanding and build compassion and bridges across communities.
Federation’s ongoing partnership with Project Shema offers opportunities for information sharing, leadership training, community engagement and education, and more.
Building Allyship
Hate of any kind has no place in San Diego. Federation continues to build relationships with diverse faith and community leaders as we seek to create a united stance against prejudice.

JPAC Partnership
Our Federation is a participating member of the Jewish Public Affairs Committee of California (JPAC), which serves as the lead voice of California’s Jewish community to our State Capitol. In addition to active participation, we support local advocacy training to ensure the needs and interests of our San Diego Jewish community are well-represented in Sacramento.
