Set on the background of the Maccabean Revolt, this lesson uses primary source material on antisemitism to inspire learners to develop strategies to stand up and combat hatred.

Learners will encounter voices from the 20th-21st centuries who at various points spoke out against antisemitism, distilling down elements of bravery and allyship. They will learn about recent statistics of Jew Hatred that have occurred in the United States and use resources from the Anti-Defamation League to create their own strategies to respond to antisemisitm.
