“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
We all know how serious the growth of Antisemitism has grown. It is not a low-keyed secret anymore. But what impact are we the people making on addressing this issue. It is widely known that the answer is very little.
We need you! We need as many residents of Cincinnati to join in us in our effort to curb and hopefully abolish antisemitism. We all know this won’t be easy, but as our Holocaust Center states, do you want to be a Bystander (like what took place in Germany) or do you wish to become an Upstander and join our fight to save our Jewish land, Eretz Yisroel, and the Jewish people, starting right here in our beloved city of Cincinnati.
Right now there are two Bills in the Ohio Legislature that need your support. Senate Bill 87 and House Bill 90. These Bills seek to amend sections 2927.12 and 4112.01 and to enact section 4112.20 of the Revised Code to define antisemitism for the purpose of investigations and proceedings by state agencies and to expand the offense of ethnic intimidation to include the offenses of riot and aggravated riot committed by reason of the race, color, religion, or national origin of another person or group of persons.
We need to engage our representatives to let them know we support these Bills. Write them now and tell them we need their help to fight antisemitism!
