Subject: [chicago-aneinu] Urgent Action Needed

Dear Friends,   We hope you are having a meaningful Pesach.   The OU and OU Advocacy have been in constant contact about the deteriorating situation on college campuses with the White House, Congress, the FBI, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Education. We remain deeply disturbed by what is happening and by the ineffectiveness of the response of university and governmental administrations.   There are meaningful efforts in Congress that need your support, including the bipartisan Antisemitism Awareness Act - which the House of Representatives will vote on this Wednesday. Please act NOW upon the specific action alert below from Nathan Diament, Executive Director of OU Advocacy.   We are continuing to work on this matter and will share with you further efforts to address it.   Chag Kasher v'Sameach,   Mitchel Aeder  President    Rabbi Moshe Hauer  Executive Vice President    Rabbi Dr. Josh Joseph  Executive Vice President & COO  Dear Students and Families,    We understand the fear and concern you must be experiencing due to rising antisemitism on college campuses and in some K-12 schools. It's especially disturbing to see harassment, violence, and even calls for genocide happening on "elite" university campuses. This is unacceptable, and your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities.   In response to this scourge of hate, Representatives Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ)  introduced the Antisemitism Awareness Act. This bill would require the U.S. Department of Education to utilize the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition.   Passing this legislation will help turn the tide in the fight against campus antisemitism and give Jewish students the justice and peace of mind they deserve on campus.

For the sake of all our children, we need you to contact your Members of Congress and tell them we need to pass the Antisemitism Awareness Act. TAKE ACTION - SEND A LETTER Please take prompt action and share this email with your friends and loved ones.   Thank you for taking action against campus antisemitism.    Nathan Diament Executive Director, OU Advocacy The Orthodox Union Advocacy Center is the non-partisan public policy arm of the Orthodox Union and leads its advocacy efforts in Washington, DC.   advocacy.ou.org     Follow us Support OU Advocacy     Privacy Policy 40 Rector Street, New York NY 10006
