Using Data to Identify and Understand Antisemitism
Deepening understanding, building trust, and ensuring that conversations about antisemitism are guided by rigor, transparency, and intellectual openness.
What We Do
Examine major studies, surveys, and datasets on antisemitism to clarify what the evidence shows and where important gaps remain.
Highlight strong scholarship from across disciplines that deepens understanding of antisemitism today.
Design new research projects in collaboration with scholars and practitioners where fresh data or analysis are needed.
Produce in-depth reports and analytical briefs on key questions facing Jewish communities, campuses, and public institutions.

The Anti-Defamation League's annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents is one of the most cited reports on the state of antisemitism in the United States, but it emerges out of ADL's own ideological definitions, which are not universally held.
Recently, the Jewish Voters Resource Center conducted a survey to assess the landscape of American Jews six months before the midterm elections. A closer look at some of the questions provides important insights into how Jewish communities understand antisemitism
Meta’s director of content policy recently gave his company a pat on the back for prohibiting Holocaust denial on its applications during a talk at this year’s “Hack the Hate” conference. It took us just 90 seconds to find several examples of it on their platforms.
A call to defend both democracy and Jewish safety, it is the Nexus Project’s answer to Project Esther, which is the Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for using weaponized claims of antisemitism to undermine democratic institutions. We offer recommendations to strengthen protections for civil rights and democratic institutions, invest in education, and build cross-community alliances, with tangible steps that policymakers and community leaders can and should take to achieve these goals.
Antisemitism consists of anti-Jewish beliefs, attitudes, actions or systemic conditions. It includes negative beliefs and feelings about Jews, hostile behavior directed against Jews (because they are Jews), and conditions that discriminate against Jews and significantly impede their ability to participate as equals in political, religious, cultural, economic, or social life.
