SECOND ANNUAL RAGE AGAINST THE HATE CONFERENCE
Museum of Jewish Heritage, Edmond J. Safra Plaza, 36 Battery Place, New York City, October 27, 2025
In the wake of the Hamas atrocities and the dangerous explosion of antisemitic attacks on the campuses and around the world, we have all been left rattled. Not since the 1930s has the Western world witnessed such outrageous conduct. While the initial shock has turned into anger, fear, and outrage, we find ourselves struggling to regain our footing in this perilous crisis. Jewish activists, leaders, and groups worldwide have mobilized to defend our people on every front. Yet, despite our efforts, we remain outgunned, on the defensive, and unable to respond adequately as the world we once knew is violently shaken.
We are losing ground to the terrorists and those who harbor hatred against us. In response, Shurat HaDin is holding a full-day conference, bringing together Jewish community and pro-Israeli activists from around the globe at the Yale Club in NYC. The aim is to better unify our activists and our movements, to share individual and organizational information, and to coordinate our strategies for the difficult fights ahead.
This is not just another event – it’s an urgent call to action. Your voice and your presence are crucial. Together we will prevail.
