ORT adopts the IHRA definition of antisemitism

October 30, 2020
ORT has adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism as part of its efforts to join the global fight against anti-Semitism.

We are proud that our global education network is joining the thousands of governments, NGOs, cultural and social movements, and organizations that have begun using this definition in recent years.

The IHRA definition states: "Anti-Semitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, as well as toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities."
