Join Us for an Evening of Inspiration and Courage: The Claire Friedlander Upstander Awards

Join us as we award scholarships to students who exemplify courage and fight against hate and injustice.

Be part of a powerful evening dedicated to celebrating the values of courage, empathy, and action. The Claire Friedlander Upstander Event shines a spotlight on exceptional young people who have taken a stand against hate and injustice in their communities.

These inspiring students, recognized for their thought-provoking essays, share their journeys as Upstanders. Their stories of bravery and commitment serve as a call to action for all of us to confront antisemitism and all forms of hate.

Don't miss this opportunity to be moved, motivated, and inspired. Stand with us in celebrating the next generation of Upstanders — because together, we can build a future defined by understanding, acceptance, and unity.

Funds raised will support HMTC's educational programming to continue to combat antisemitism and all forms of hate.
