Building
bridges through understanding
Project Shema is a training and support organization focused on addressing contemporary antisemitism with an emphasis on how anti-Jewish ideas and implicit biases can be carried alongside conversations about Israel and Palestine.
Built by progressive Jews, our programs focus on depolarizing difficult conversations around anti-Jewish harm to strengthen allyship for and within the Jewish community.

The impact of Project Shema
Celebrate Jewish American
Heritage Month
WITH PROJECT SHEMA
Our Jewish American Heritage Month program captures the Jewish American journey through an exploration of Jewish identity and antisemitism (‘oys’) while illuminating the eclectic stories of Jews who have enriched American society and culture (‘joys’).
The Jewish American story is one of milestones and breakthroughs in spite of arbitrary glass ceilings, exclusion, quotas, and even violence. The stories we spotlight are Jewish stories, but they are also quintessentially American stories—woven into the fabric of this country’s history and steady progress.
