RAGE AGAINST THE HATE CONFERENCE

Where: Museum of Jewish Heritage, NY,

When: November 1st, 2026 | 8:00 am – 5.00 pm

As the Jewish State fights for its survival from the devastating rocket attacks which have inflicted widespread killings and damage to Israeli cities, and amid a continued rise in antisemitic incidents on campuses and around the world, our community is confronting a rapidly changing and perilous reality.

Jewish activists, leaders, and organizations have mobilized globally, but significant threats remain as we work to respond effectively and coordinate our fights.

In response, the Shurat HaDin Law Center will host the 3rd Annual “Rage Against the Hate” Conference this November 1, 2026 in New York City. This full-day gathering will bring together Jewish and pro-Israel activists to share insights, strengthen coordination, and address key issues, including Israel’s security challenges, the deluge of antisemitism, the weaponization of AI and social media against us, and the ongoing legal efforts to prosecute Israeli soldiers in The Hague.

This conference is an opportunity to connect, hear the cutting edge thinkers and policy makers, collaborate, and plan for the challenging work ahead.

This is not just another event – it’s an urgent call to action. Your voice and your presence are crucial. Together we will prevail.
