Shalom Alliance: Strengthening Community and Combating Antisemitism
Shalom Alliance is dedicated to strengthening the Jewish community in Vermont, Israel, and beyond through advocacy, education, and meaningful partnerships. Founded by Vermont Jews and supported by national organizations, we foster dialogue, combat misinformation, and promote understanding.
With rising antisemitism, we help educators recognize and address anti-Jewish bias, especially in discussions about Israel and Palestine, where Jewish perspectives are often excluded or misrepresented. When education presents only one lens, it risks marginalizing Jewish voices and creating unsafe environments.
Shalom Alliance provides guidance and support to navigate best practices for educators in these challenging conversations. Shalom Alliance is a resource for educators, students, parents, and concerned citizens to challenge antisemitism and build a more inclusive and informed learning environment. Join us in ensuring that all narratives are valued and that Vermont’s Jewish community has a bright and secure future.
