Dear John,

As a valued member of the ADL community, I wanted to give you this urgent update.

In communities like yours across the country, there’s been an alarming increase in antisemitism and hate.

An average of more than one targeted anti-Jewish attack an hour — or more than 25 a day! We’ve never seen numbers like this before.

John, this is why I’m reaching out with such urgency. To help reverse this disturbing surge in antisemitism, I’m asking you to help us reach the goal of raising $50,000 by May 31.

Anti-Jewish acts, including harassment, vandalism, bomb threats and assaults have reached higher and higher levels four years in a row — with ADL’s most recent Audit of Antisemitic Incidents recording more than 9,300 antisemitic acts in just one year.

Please give as generously as you can.

We’re seeing waves of violence in once-safe places. In our homes, college campuses and K-12 schools, children and adults are being assaulted and tormented.

Synagogues faced hundreds of bomb threats in 2024 with messages such as: “You Jews will pay for your crimes; we will end your lives.”

As a result, Jews are hiding their Star of David necklaces, installing bulletproof glass and armed security in synagogues and removing the mezuzah from their front doors.

John, you give me hope. Because I believe that kind, compassionate and concerned people like you far outnumber the antisemites, extremists, bigots and spreaders of hate.

Your donation will enable the ADL Center on Extremism to continue monitoring, disrupting and exposing extremist activity, and working with law enforcement to bring the perpetrators to justice.

As one of ADL’s most loyal friends, I’m counting on you to help us raise $50,000 by the May 31 deadline.

Make your first gift now to keep our communities safe.

Together, we will never stop fighting. We will never relent. We will never give up, because “never again” is NOW!

Sincerely,

Jonathan Greenblatt

CEO and National Director
