The 3rd Annual Conference · New York City
Rage Against the Hate
The fight for Israel’s survival is taking place in courtrooms, digital platforms, and local communities worldwide. Join Jewish leaders, security experts, and activists for a full-day summit hosted by Shurat HaDin.
The 2026 summit
Passive defense is no longer an option
As Israel fights on the front lines and antisemitism escalates across American streets and college campuses, passive defense is no longer an option.
Hosted by Shurat HaDin (Israel Law Center), this full-day summit brings together leading policymakers, tech innovators, and legal experts for one primary purpose: to go on the offensive.
Jewish activists, leaders, and organizations have mobilized globally, but significant threats remain as we work to respond effectively and coordinate our fights. The conference will address Israel’s security challenges, the deluge of antisemitism, the weaponization of AI and social media against us, and the ongoing legal efforts to prosecute Israeli soldiers in The Hague.
This is not just another event. It is an urgent gathering of fighters, thinkers, lawmakers, activists, and community leaders. Don’t watch from the sidelines while others shape the fight.
Key conference pillars
Three fronts, one day
The summit is built around the three fronts where Shurat HaDin fights: in the courts, online and on campus, and in the community.
Defending Israel & Legal Warfare
Protecting IDF soldiers from rogue international courts and prosecuting terror-enabling entities.
Tackling Antisemitism & Propaganda
Countering digital bias across social media platforms, AI tools, and university campuses.
Aligning Pro-Israel Activists
Uniting strategic thinkers and grassroots leaders for real-world impact and policy action.
The 2026 program and speakers are to be announced by Shurat HaDin.

“Let the whole world know that we will not allow terror to raise its head. We must fight it on the battlefield, within courts, and in the arena of global public opinion. If we act together, we can secure the future of the Jewish people at home and in the Diaspora.”
Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, President of Shurat HaDin, in Shurat HaDin’s recap of the 2025 conference
