FIGHTING ANTISEMITISM
How are we actively fighting against antisemitism here in Nashville?
Antisemitism – baseless Jew hatred – has been exponentially growing around the world, in the United States, and unfortunately, here at home in Nashville.
​
The Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville is committed to identifying, calling out, and combatting antisemitism in our community.
​
We conduct corporate trainings on antisemitism. We respond to incidents of antisemitism in our local schools. We lobby at the capitol and at city council. And we convene law enforcement officials at every level of government to share concerns, intelligence, and more.
