The Leadership Certificate
in Combating Antisemitism for Professionals

Jewish leaders need to be equipped to respond to antisemitic incidents with strength, skill, and expertise. To be effective, they need training.


The Leadership Certificate in Combating Antisemitism for Professionals is an innovative program for executives and senior leaders of Jewish organizations. It was launched to fill this critical need.

We are accepting applications from professionals in leadership positions in North American Jewish organizations of all types, including social justice, social services, synagogues, advocacy, education, community relations, philanthropy, campus engagement, and interreligious partnerships.

For more information for Professionals, read details below.
