Combatting antisemitism: CEO of Anti-Defamation League holds discussion in Beachwood

The battle to stop antisemitism was the topic of a discussion Monday evening at Temple-Tifereth Israel in Beachwood. The featured speaker was Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. He has served as the organization's chief executive since 2015. Previously, Greenblatt worked in the White House as Special Assistant to President Barack Obama and Director of the Office of Social Innovation. Last year, antisemitism in America reached an all-time high with more than 2,700 incidents of assault, harassment, and vandalism. Greenblatt spoke about the issue to 3News anchor and managing editor Russ Mitchell. -- At 3News, we’re not here to tell you the news, we’re here to share the stories that you say matter most to you.
