ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt spoke about the organization’s 2020 audit of antisemitic incidents titled Fighting Hate from Home: 2020 Audit of Antisemitic Incidents & the State of Antisemitism in the U.S. Screenshot by David Rullo.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, and months of restricted activities, the number of antisemitic incidents in the United States remained high in 2020, according to the Anti-Defamation League’s annual audit on antisemitism.
The findings were released during an April 27 Zoom webinar during which the ADL reported 2,024 incidents against American Jews last year, down 4% from 2019. Still, 2020 was “the third highest year for incidents against American Jews since the ADL started tracking such data in 1979,” said Deb Leipzig, ADL’s vice president of leadership.

PITTSBURGH – Condiments often play a role in elevating a dish’s flavor. Where would a hot dog be without that ubiquitous squirt of ketchup or a ham sandwich without a slather of mayonnaise?
Then there’s horseradish.
No shrinking violet, this long and knobby white root of the horseradish plant snaps the palate to attention when it finds its way into a sauce or spice blend. Hot and spicy, with a pungent odor that gives even seasoned cooks pause, it tastes like a radish on steroids.

Next week Israel will celebrate its 73rd year of independence as a Jewish and democratic state, and its accomplishments are astounding and cause for tremendous pride.
