## Resource

In this episode of Here I Am with Shai Davidai, Shai speaks with Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), about antisemitism, Zionism, and the challenges facing the Jewish community after October 7. Greenblatt shares his personal Jewish story, including his family’s Holocaust and Iranian refugee background, and explains how his path through politics, tech, and entrepreneurship led him to lead one of America’s most prominent anti-hate organizations. Greenblatt breaks down what the ADL does to combat antisemitism and hate, including tracking extremist threats, training law enforcement, legal advocacy, and education initiatives. He also discusses why he argues “anti-Zionism is antisemitism,” how anti-Jewish hatred has evolved over time, and what Jewish institutions and leaders must change in response to today’s cultural and political climate.
