Report an Incident. Share an Experience.
JPAS documents two kinds of information, and both matter. Incidents of antisemitism deserve to be reported and addressed. Experiences of Jewish erasure, often quieter, shape Jewish students’ daily lives just as powerfully. The Inclusion Index captures both, because understanding Jewish life in private K–12 schools requires more than just tracking acts of hate.
Reporting an Issue:
Acts of antisemitism or discrimination directed at Jewish students or families: harassment, bullying, threats, vandalism, swastikas, or discriminatory treatment. These deserve prompt attention and documentation.
Share an Experience
Experiences of Jewish erasure or exclusion that shape identity and belonging, even when no single incident occurred: curriculum gaps or misrepresentation, classroom discussions lacking historical context or nuance, Jewish holidays and observances overlooked in school life, or moments when Jewish students felt unseen or unable to express their identity.
Sharing an experience is not about blame. Erasure requires no intent; patterns form quietly, one omission at a time, in schools that care deeply about their students.
Your privacy matters.
We ask for basic contact information so we can follow up if needed and protect the integrity of what we document. Your personal information is kept strictly confidential and is never shared publicly. Experiences inform our understanding only as patterns across schools, never as identifiable stories.
Your experience matters.
Whether you are reporting an incident of antisemism or sharing an experience of Jewish erasure, your submission helps JPAS better understand Jewish life in private K–12 schools and contributes to lasting institutional change. Individual incidents and individual experiences become one body of evidence: the Inclusion Index. Moments become patterns, patterns become evidence, and evidence helps schools see what was invisible, so it can change.
When in doubt share.
You never have to decide which category fits, or whether something qualifies. Submit it anyway. Our team reviews every submission and documents it appropriately. If you’re uncertain, we’d rather hear from you.
