Some Houston-area Jewish students are better prepared to recognize and respond to anti-Semitism, thanks to ADL’s Words to Action Program and  two dedicated Words to Action facilitators, Erica Robinson and Jenny Selber Gustafson.

Jenny recently worked with 50 congregants at Congregation Beth Shalom of the Woodlands (CBSW). The group included teens and parents. CBSW’s Adult Education Chaperone, Beryl Geber, said she “has not seen the students as engaged as they were this morning…and for many of the adults, it was an eye-opener.”

Erica facilitated a workshop at Temple Beth Torah in Humble.  One student was so motivated by Words to Action,  she decided to ask her school to participate in No Place for Hate®.

We hope to inspire more teens and parents in upcoming workshops.

Words to Action is an interactive education program for middle, high school and college students designed to empower and equip them with constructive and effective responses to combat anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias.
