I’m an NYC schools consultant. Here’s what I tell parents worried about antisemitism.

JL;DR SUMMARY Alina Adams, an NYC schools consultant and Jewish community member, addresses the growing concern among Jewish parents about antisemitism in schools, especially following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
