Annual Middle East Conference
The New York Regional Office of the Anti-Defamation League - in conjunction with its International Affairs Committee – presents annually a major conference on a timely and provocative issue related to the Middle East. The conference is co-sponsored with a university, and planned with an academic audience in mind, publicized heavily at colleges across the New York City region and surrounding area. Although open to most of the general public, we make a special effort to attract undergraduate and graduate students as well as their professors, giving them the opportunity to see high level speakers on Israel and the Middle East without charge.

Edward Brodsky Legal Conference
This annual conference is one of the highlights for the New York legal community. Nationally prominent scholars discuss and debate an important public issue at this event, where audience participation is encouraged.

Bearing Witness™ Program
The Bearing Witness™ Program is a unique professional development opportunity for Catholic school educators. In 1996, the ADL’s Washington, D.C. Regional Office created Bearing Witness to provide these with the training and resources necessary to teach their students about the historical relationship between Jewish and Catholic communities and the impact of that relationship on Catholic teaching, catechesis and liturgy. Through Bearing Witness, participants explore the history of anti-Semitism, from biblical times to modern day. Themes include the role of the Church during the Holocaust, recent changes in Catholic teachings on Jews and Judaism, issues of prejudice in contemporary society and practical strategies for teaching students about the Holocaust and anti- Semitism. Bearing Witness is endorsed by the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Bettina and Erwin Pearl New York Bearing Witness Institute ™
This is a training program for educators who teach in Catholic schools about the history of anti-Semitism within the Church, how this created an atmosphere in which the Holocaust took place and current Church theology which redefines the relationship to the Jews and Judaism.
