The SRE Network, formerly the Safety Respect Equity Coalition, a group of about 160 organizations that address gender-based harassment, discrimination and inequity, announced on Tuesday that it will award about $300,000 in grants to eight Jewish nonprofits.

Funding will help the nonprofits “build on their existing efforts to prevent harassment and discrimination and support safe, respectful and equitable workplaces and communal spaces,” per an SRE release. “Grantees will have access to funding and expert practitioners to support their unique efforts, each of which has the potential to scale.”

The group received more than 40 applications for the eight spots.

The grantees are ALEPH: Alliance for Jewish Renewal; Footsteps; Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life; Jewish Federations of North America; Mishkan Chicago; Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies; SketchPad; and Yeshivat Maharat.

That legal threshold “requires enough support to have some meaningful impact on the terrorist organization’s ability to achieve its goals,” a dissenting Fourth Circuit judge wrote. “Selling a hot dog to a terrorist would not count.”
“Besides the Palestinians, the problem is the Europeans and the leftists, promoted by NGOs. They are the most dangerous,” a Jewish U.N. employee said of antisemitism within the institution.
A 28-year-old Turkish Muslim student who became a vocal defender of Israel after the Oct. 7 attack has been granted asylum in the Jewish state.
“I used to worry because they were black Jews, and I was more concerned that they were black,” Andrea Martin told JNS of her sons. “I never thought when I sent my kids away to college that Max would have to worry about hot coffee being poured on him in a library.”
