From the Frontlines: ADL Acquires the JLens Jewish Investor Network to Fight BDS

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight antisemitism and all forms of hate. In the fight against antisemitism, the corporate boardroom has become a battleground as investors sometimes engage in antisemitism and delegitimization of the Jewish state under the guise being “socially responsible.” JLENS was founded in 2012 to counter this issue and has only become more important as socially responsible investing has grown. Recently, JLENS became a part of ADL. Jake Herman is the Director of Network Development for JLens, and he joined this show to discuss the work of JLens and its merger with ADL.

This podcast originally aired as a radio show on August 22, 2023 on WVOX 1460 AM.
