(JNS) Officials from dozens of federal agencies and White House offices met this week to discuss efforts to counter antisemitism.

Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff convened the meeting with Susan Rice and Liz Sherwood-Randall, advisers to the White House on domestic policy and homeland security, respectively.

The working group is also holding “listening sessions with external stakeholders and experts to help inform the national strategy to counter antisemitism,” according to the White House. “The goal is to hear directly from a wide range of stakeholders, including the Jewish community, civil rights and faith leaders, civil society, the private sector and others on how to counter antisemitism as a threat both to the Jewish community and all Americans,” it said.
