JewBelong, an online resource created to welcome and inspire Jewish people, put up the billboards on Friday throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties
as part of their #EndJewHate campaign. The campaign comes at a time of heightened concern over a rise in anti-Semitism across the country. It also comes weeks after a man held four people hostage at a Texas synagogue in an hourslong standoff and a series of anti-Semitic vandalism in Chicago. The Anti-Defamation League told CNN earlier this week that anti-Semitic incidents are at a historical high.
"There's a lot of ways to stem bad things from happening -- there's education, podcasts, articles and books -- and they're all important," Gottesman told CNN."To fight hate, we need a lot of tools in our tool belt and our awareness campaign is one really important tool." One bright pink and white billboard read,"We're just 75 years since the gas chambers. So no, a billboard calling out Jew hate isn't an overreaction.
