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.

This Certificate is designed for 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.

  • Broad knowledge of historical and current manifestations of antisemitism
  • A network of institutional leaders who can leverage each other’s talents, resources, relationships, and support
  • Skills in community engagement, risk assessment, and strategic philanthropy
  • Confidence in crisis communications, critical conversations, and strategic philanthropy
  • Insight into views of antisemitism outside the Jewish community to build interreligious bonds and cross-community alliances

The program provided me with tools and language to more effectively communicate with my community about the ways in which we are addressing antisemitism. I met outstanding colleagues who can serve as thought partners in our work.
