Far more concerning than the rise in antisemitism is this phenomenon that we’re finding among Jewish teens.

Our Executive Director, Rabbi Chaim Neiditch, wrote about it in this article:

A leading rabbi cautions that sensitivity to antisemitism is fading, calling for urgent education and pride-building among Jewish teens before indifference takes root.

From our Executive Director, Rabbi Chaim Neiditch, in loving memory of Bernie Marcus z”l:

I first met Bernie Marcus in 2010 when I was invited to his office to discuss the future of the Jewish community. Unsure if this prominent leader would recognize me, I introduced myself: "Hi, I'm Chaim Neiditch." Bernie glanced at his name tag, gave a little shrug, and with a warm smile and a twinkle in his eye, replied, "I guess I'm Bernie." That small moment of humility left a lasting impact on me.

Throughout our meetings, I was moved by Bernie’s deep commitment to the Jewish future and his insightful, strategic approach to strengthening our community. His respect for others and his humble mentorship shaped how I view leadership.

In 2013, Bernie and the Marcus Foundation team selected me to be in the Jewish Federation’s "Shark Tank" event. Little did I know that night would be pivotal—I was named the winner by Bernie himself.

Winning Shark Tank remains one of the highlights of my career. I was deeply moved by Bernie’s belief in me and his confidence in our mission to shape the Jewish future. His support brought newfound respect to our work, and it’s a legacy I am honored to carry forward.

Thank you, Bernie z"l. Here’s a look back at that meaningful night.

Hats off to our Executive Director, Rabbi Chaim Neiditch, whose impactful testimony in the Senate played a meaningful role in the successful passage of Georgia's inaugural Antisemitism Hate Crime Bill. This achievement underscores Rabbi Neiditch's influential advocacy and dedication to fostering a safer and more inclusive community.
