The venture will be formally announced tonight at a dinner at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in LA.
“The entertainment industry was once known as a safe harbor for Jews. That is no longer true. There’s been an alarming rise in antisemitism within our professional ranks, industry organizations and in our art forms,” said Modi Wiczyk, co-founder & CEO of MRC and a member of ADL’s Entertainment Leadership Council.
“There’s never been a more pressing need for ADL’s Media & Entertainment Institute to step into this void and to engage directly with industry leaders on these issues. I stand ready to support them in any way I can.” Housed within ADL and based in Los Angeles, the group wants to engage directly with industry leaders “to improve societal perceptions of Jewish people and understanding of antisemitism” and “advocate for content that illustrates the full diversity of Jewish life and the nuanced characters that Jews embody, to offer a well-rounded portrayal of Jewish culture, religion and history.
