Citing the rise in antisemitism over the past five years, Meggie Wyschogrod Fredman, AJC’ s director of the Alexander Young Leadership Department, and Belle Etra Yoeli, AJC’s chief communications and innovation officer, assert that “the time has come to couple the tenacity and perseverance of the Jewish people with the innovative spirit and drive of millennials and Gen Z to disrupt antisemitism.”
Shaped by the incubators of Silicon Valley, AJC is calling for bold ideas by and for young Jews to combat antisemitism locally, nationally, or virtually. A committee of young professionals from the business and tech industries will review proposals and select several innovative ideas.
Winning proposals will receive up to $10,000 in seed funding from AJC, along with access to AJC expertise and mentorship from leaders in the fields of advocacy, finance, and tech as they bring their ideas into reality.
All young Jewish leaders with big ideas are encouraged to apply. Applications are now open, and close on Friday, September 27. More information, including details on how to apply, is available at www.ajc.org/disruptantisemitism.
