In the face of rising K-12 antisemitism, Jewish Student Union National Director Devora Simon told Fox News Digital that an additional 4,000 teenage students in search of "meaningful community and authentic connection" have sought out JSU clubs in their schools, leading to the addition of 125 JSU clubs nationwide during the 2023-2024 school year.
Simon said this "unprecedented demand for Jewish engagement reflects [students’] deep desire to belong, find strength in each other, and explore their identity." She said the JSU has provided "a safe space and unwavering support as [students] navigate these challenges and build a vibrant, supportive community."
