Antisemitism is showing up across nonprofit, civic, and community spaces in ways that many are unsure how to interpret or address. Avodah’s training offers a clear, historically rooted framework that helps organizations understand what antisemitism is, how it has evolved, how it functions today, and how it intersects with your work.

The “big tent” approach to educational work in Jewish American spaces is one of the best ways to create environments that produce learners with critical-thinking skills who can engage across difference, articulate their own ideas, and remain committed to Jewish identity throughout their lifetimes. Let’s talk about the challenges and benefits of the approach in educational and organizational work, share best practices, and leave with some new tools.

“Avodah’s antisemitism training was a valuable experience for our team. Emilia’s engaging facilitation created a safe space to explore a sensitive and complex topic, introducing concepts that were new for some members of our diverse staff. She guided the conversation with care, clarity, and openness. We also appreciated the pre-meeting listening session, where she took time to understand our organization’s unique needs. We’re grateful to have Avodah as a thoughtful resource and partner.”

Following antisemitism trainings, many organizations ask: Now what? A 90-minute or half-day session can build shared language and awareness, but sustainable change requires deeper integration into culture, policy, and leadership practice. Post-session coaching and consulting is designed to help organizations move from insight to implementation.
Grounded in Avodah’s broader Theory of Change of equipping Jewish and secular organizations to integrate justice into their work and build resilient leadership, this follow-up support helps teams operationalize what they’ve learned in ways that strengthen culture, decision-making, and coalition work.
Rather than a one-off training, this approach positions antisemitism education as part of a sustained capacity-building arc: strengthening leadership, deepening alignment, and advancing justice with integrity.
Organizations that engage in post-session consulting are better equipped to:
A Meaningful Engagement Across Difference session often surfaces a core organizational challenge: how to uphold deeply held values while remaining in relationship with people who may see the world differently. A workshop can introduce frameworks for principled disagreement, pluralism, and courageous dialogue, but organizations frequently need additional support to apply those ideas in real-time leadership decisions, workplace culture, and moments of conflict.
Post-session coaching and consulting helps organizations translate the principles of meaningful engagement into practical leadership strategies, communication practices, and cultural norms that allow disagreement without fragmentation.
Grounded in Avodah’s approach to social justice education and leadership development, this work supports organizations in strengthening their capacity to navigate ideological difference with integrity, clarity, and care.
Organizations that engage in post-session consulting are better equipped to:
A “Big Tent” training opens up important questions: Who feels inside? Who feels outside? What tensions are we avoiding in the name of unity? Naming these dynamics in a workshop is only the beginning. Post-session coaching and consulting supports Jewish organizations in translating the aspiration of a “big tent” into real policies, practices, and leadership behaviors that hold complexity without collapsing into lowest-common-denominator communities.
Grounded in Avodah’s commitment to building vibrant Jewish communities rooted in justice and belonging, this follow-up work helps organizations move from theory to lived inclusion.
Organizations that engage in post-session consulting are better equipped to:
A Gen Z session often surfaces a hard truth: young people are not asking to be “engaged.” They are asking to be taken seriously. A workshop can unpack generational shifts around leadership expectations, boundaries, mental health literacy, political fluency, mistrust of institutions; but organizations frequently need deeper support to translate those insights into structural change.
Post-session coaching and consulting helps Jewish organizations move from surface-level youth programming to meaningful intergenerational partnership.
Grounded in Avodah’s mission to develop lifelong social justice leaders and strengthen Jewish organizations through a justice lens, this work focuses on sustainable culture shifts rather than one-off engagement tactics.
Organizations that engage in post-session Gen Z coaching are better equipped to:
Trainings are led by a team of skilled facilitators, including Avodah’s Chief Program Officer, Emilia Diamant, and Avodah Program Directors. Rose Silverman, a Jewish educator, community organizer, and Avodah alum, helped Emilia develop our antisemitism training.
We also have 12 Avodah alumni who are participating in a train-the-trainer cohort, so that we can offer these workshops to organizations across the country beginning in Spring/Summer 2026.
