Nexus Project
The Nexus Project is an American non-profit organization dedicated to combating antisemitism through education, advocacy, and policy implementation. It focuses on promoting effective government action against antisemitism while fostering unity and inclusion. It opposes the use of accusations of antisemitism as political tools to stifle criticism of Israel. The Nexus Project consists of two main components: the Nexus Leadership Project and the Nexus Task Force.
The Nexus Leadership Project, created in January 2024, engages with American civic and political leaders and decision-makers to enhance understanding of antisemitism, particularly where it intersects with Israel-related issues. Its primary activities include educational outreach to policymakers and advocacy for comprehensive strategies to combat antisemitism.
The Nexus Task Force, created in November 2019, analyzes issues at the intersection of Israel and antisemitism. The task force has published the Nexus Document, described as "a resource designed for policymakers and community leaders, aiming to enhance their understanding of the issues that intersect at the nexus of antisemitism, Israel, and Zionism". It has also published the Nexus White Paper, "Understanding Antisemitism at its Nexus with Israel and Zionism"; the Nexus "Guide to Identifying Antisemitism in Debates about Israel"; and "A Campus Guide to Identifying Antisemitism in a Time of Perplexity".
In September 2020, over 100 Jewish leaders sent a letter to Joe Biden to draw his attention to the resources available on the "Israel & Antisemitism: Policy at the Nexus of Two Critical Issues" website. The "U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism", released on May 25, 2023, states that "the Administration welcomes and appreciates the Nexus Document".
The Nexus Task Force is affiliated with The Bard Center for the Study of Hate (BCSH), which works to increase the serious study of human hatred, and ways to combat it. The director of the Nexus Task Force is Jonathan Jacoby. The director of the BCSH is Kenneth S. Stern, who had been the lead drafter of the IHRA's working definition of antisemitism and its examples, and is an ex officio member of the Nexus Task Force.
On January 19, 2024, Task Force member Derek Penslar was appointed by Harvard's Interim President Alan Garber to co-chair Harvard's Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism.
The members of the Nexus Task Force are listed below.
The Nexus Task Force is supported by a larger advisory committee.
