Shine a Light on Antisemitism
Chanukah 2021
November 28 - December 6
Only light can dispel darkness.
This Chanukah, we encourage St. Louis Jews and allies to speak up and send a message that antisemitism, in all its modern forms, won’t be tolerated in our community.

Join JCRC and our local and national partners in Shine a Light, a national initiative to drive away the shadow of antisemitism through education and engagement among Jewish and non-Jewish communities.
Our Partners
Jewish Federation of St. Louis | Anti-Defamation League’s Heartland chapter | American Jewish Committee-St. Louis chapter | National Council of Jewish Women-St. Louis
