ADL In Studio - Andrew Goretsky: Regional Philadelphia ADL Director... Breaking down Penn situation - The State of the Middle East - Israel - and the Anti-Semistim trends seen nationwide... Columbia, Harvard, etc...
In January 2022, Andrew Goretsky took over as regional director of the Anti-Defamation League Philadelphia.
It was less than two weeks after the synagogue hostage crisis in Colleyville, Texas. It was less than four years after the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh. And it was around the same time that Philadelphia-area synagogues were adding locks, security cameras and Zoom passwords to their daily proceedings.
Less than two years later, Oct. 7 happened and antisemitic incidents spiked in Goretsky’s region of eastern Pennsylvania, South Jersey and Delaware. Goretsky said in January 2022 that he wanted to work for the ADL due to the increase in “antisemitism, hate and extremism in all its forms.” He also wanted to help build a better world for his son, Ari Shawn, to grow up in.
