ADL Deputy National Director to speak in wake of anti-semitic incidents on March 16

Kenneth Jacobson, Deputy National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, will speak on “Responding to Anti-Semitism Today.”

Kenneth Jacobson, Deputy National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, will speak on “Responding to Anti-Semitism Today” Thursday, March 16 at 7:30 p.m. at Congregation Beth El. Jacobson’s remarks come in the wake of more than 100 bomb threats that have targeted Jewish Community Centers across the United States, including Cherry Hill’s Katz JCC on Feb. 27.

His visit also follows two major desecrations of Jewish cemeteries: the vandalism of 100 gravestones in Philadelphia’s Mount Carmel Cemetery discovered on Feb. 26 and a prior attack in the St. Louis area.
