Join us on 11/10/23 at Noon ET for The Employer Handbook Zoom Happy Hour: Antisemitism and the Workplace

Antisemitism is nothing new.

About a year ago, ResumeBuilder.com surveyed 1,131 U.S. hiring managers and recruiters about their views of Jewish individuals and their perception of antisemitism in the workplace. Of those surveyed – remember, these are the people making the hiring decisions — 29% said antisemitism is acceptable in their company, and 33% said antisemitism is common in their workplace.

CBS News noted that earlier this year, the Anti-Defamation League released a report in which it recorded 3,697 antisemitic incidents nationwide in 2022, the most since since ADL began tracking the statistic in 1979.

After Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing more than 1,400 people, antisemitic incidents in the United States have risen 400%, and the ADL observed a near-1,000% surge in violent messages mentioning Jews and Israel on Telegram after the Hamas attack

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the enforcer of federal workplace anti-discrimination laws, has condemned antisemitism unanimously. However, American businesses also need to do their part to address the problem.

But how?

You can start by reading this article from my partner, Amy Epstein Gluck. Next, you can listen to this podcast from my employment law colleague, Jonathan Segal.

Then, on Friday, November 10, 2023, at Noon ET, join me, Amy, and Jonathan on Zoom for more discussions of antisemitism, its impact on the workplace, and how companies can address this scourge. We’ll also try to answer your hypothetical questions for a friend without giving any specific legal advice.

Yes, it’s the return of The Employer Handbook Zoom Happy Hour.
