ADL, Hispanic Christian leaders announce alliance to fight antisemitism, strengthen ties
Addressing the gathering at the Museum of the Bible, ADL CEO Greenblatt opened his remarks by expressing deep gratitude to the conference leadership and organizers for convening the summit.
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), announced on Tuesday an expanded partnership with the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) at their annual summit in Washington, DC. The collaboration aims to combat antisemitism and strengthen ties between churches and synagogues. Greenblatt expressed gratitude to NHCLC leadership for convening the summit and reflected on their growing relationship, describing NHCLC President Rev.
Samuel Rodriguez as a "brother." The partnership will focus on advocating for Safe Worship legislation, developing a bilingual Sunday school curriculum, and establishing new church-synagogue connections through Kulanu, ADL's national network of Jewish congregations. Greenblatt highlighted the NHCLC's commitment to addressing antisemitism, especially in the wake of the October 7 attacks.
He emphasized that the Jewish community received significant support from the NHCLC during this time and stressed the importance of mutual assistance between churches and synagogues. ADL and NHCLC plan to urge Congress to pass bipartisan Safe Worship legislation and launch the new curriculum in both English and Spanish. Greenblatt expressed hope that one day, every synagogue in America will have a nearby church to call upon in times of need, fostering a future where local churches and synagogues build strong bonds of protection and friendship across the nation.
