Israel Emergency Alliance

What it reported doing in 2025

Educational events, training and support for students and communities, and activities in the united statesunderstanding the challenge========================since the inception of standwithus, our professionals have recognized that the same antisemitic propaganda promoted on college campuses is also used in high schools, middle schools, and communities around the world to achieve the same destructive goals.(see schedule o for continuation)the main goal of anti-israel propagandists is to create animosity toward israel and its supporters. Examples of these relentless campaigns include calls to punish israel through boycotts; rallies supporting hamas terrorism and/or calling for violence against israelis; the promotion of misinformation about israel and/or jews; and holocaust denial or holocaust inversion (accusing jews of being nazis).all of these racist tactics are menacing to jewish people, to israel, and to non-jewish supporters of israel.student leadership programs===============================================we approach these challenges from multiple angles, first and foremost by supporting students.emerson fellowship (college students)==============================our renowned emerson fellowship has become one of the most sought-after year-long leadership programs for college students. There are currently over 300 emerson fellows working on hundreds of campuses each year, reaching tens of thousands of students with their programing. Participants receive training, mentorship, resources, and ongoing support to educate their peers about israel and respond effectively to antisemitism on campus. The emerson fellowship also operates in canada, in the uk, in the netherlands, and in brazil. Kenneth leventhal internship (high school students)===================================the kenneth leventhal internship provides high school students with leadership training and educational opportunities before they arrive on college campuses. More than 230 leventhal interns are participating during the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 academic years in the united states and canada, reaching tens of thousands of students through the programs that they organize in their youth groups, at their schools, synagogues and local churches. Many leventhal participants continue their leadership journey as emerson fellows during college. The high school department at standwithus also offers other programs, in addition to the leventhal internship, for students who are not ready to be leaders at their schools. Israellink (middle school students)==================================in 2018, standwithus expanded its reach to middle school students and educators through israellink, an interactive online curriculum that is now used in hundreds of schools across the united states. The goal of the israel link program includes strengthening a child's jewish identity and connection to israel. Thousands of children are engaged with link each year, through hundreds of schools across the us. Together, our college, high school, and middle school programs enable us to engage thousands of students annually, at critical stages of their development and educational journey. And through the student leaders on high schools and college campuses, we reach tens of thousands more students with inspiring programming organized by their peers.addressing k-12 challenges=======================as antisemitic and anti-israel content increasingly appears in some curriculum frameworks and educational materials, standwithus has developed specialized programs and resources to: -monitor curriculum developments -engage educators, parents and school districts -provide guidance and educational resources -promote accurate information about israel, jewish history, and antisemitismcommunity education and resources===================================================for 25 years, standwithus has educated and inspired people of all ages about israel and the fight against antisemitism.beyond our student programs,
