Parenting in Challenging Times

A NEW series for parents of high school-aged children

Since October 7th, we have seen a dramatic rise in antisemitism in public schools. 

This 3-part series will break down the antisemitic incidents we are experiencing in high schools locally and nation-wide.  We will cover what modern antisemitism looks like today in high schools; practical tools to best support and empower our teenage children to identify, stand up to, and report incidents; and legislation, school policies and resources to empower parents to advocate in the high school space.
