ADL In Concert Against Hate Shines the Light on Heroes
30th Anniversary
The mood was electric at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC for the 30th Anniversary ADL In Concert Against Hate on November 18, 2024. Stars like Ben Stiller, Sia and Eden Golan entertained us and inspired us as we all work to fight antisemitism and hate the world over.

Hearing Eden Golan sing her Eurovision song, “October Rain,” with the National Symphony Orchestra was a powerful rebuke to all the antisemitism she faced at that contest in Europe earlier this year.
After the vicious attacks against Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam earlier in the month, it reminded everyone how important it is for us to speak out.
That is something our honorees all have done.
ADL Spotlight Award
Scooter Braun received the ADL Spotlight Award for bringing “The Nova Music Festival Exhibition: October 7th 06:29AM” to the U.S., where it has provided survivor testimonies and recreated the atmosphere of the harrowing Hamas attack. The powerful exhibit has been in NYC, LA and now Miami.

Levenson Family Defender of Democracy Award
We were honored to present the Levenson Family Defender of Democracy Award to Noa Fay, Luda Isakharov and Einav Tsach, students who both on campus and on Capitol Hill have put their college experience on the line in order to speak out for what’s right.

We need people like these honorees more than ever.
They set an example for us, they lead us and they remind us that all of us, in our own ways, need to rise to meet this moment.
ADL thanks all of our Concert honorees, Zach Sage for helping us kick off the evening, our generous sponsors, and we thank you for all you do to Fight Hate for Good with ADL.
