Shine a Light on Antisemitism
About #ShineALight
The #ShineALight Initiative
The #ShineALight Initiative is a national project designed to create a collective light of celebration spreading the Jewish joy of Chanukah and the beautiful traditions we honor in our homes with our families. Sponsored in part by the UJA-Federation of New York, the initiative is designed as a counter-expression to antisemitism and other messages of hate acts towards Jews and Israel. The #ShineALight Initiative is leveraging education, community partnerships, workplace engagement, and advocacy among Jewish and non-Jewish communities.
The Jewish Education Project is a proud content partner of the #ShineALight Initiative and is delighted to provide these free materials to parents and other caring adults. We encourage you to utilize this education content in the week leading up to and through Chanukah (this year and in the future), and if applicable, at other times of the year.
For more information about these materials, contact Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath, Ed.D., Senior Director, Knowledge, Ideas, and Learning
