Appendix L — Code of conduct, leadership pledge, and trainer closeout

I will place truth before speed and label what is verified, supported, disputed, unverified, false/misleading, or opinion.

I will not fabricate evidence, impersonate others, use fake identities or sockpuppets, purchase deceptive engagement, or manipulate audiences in secret.

I will not threaten, harass, dox, stalk, humiliate, or expose private/security information.

I will oppose antisemitism without collective blame against Muslims, Christians, Arabs, Palestinians, Israelis, the left, the right, or any other people or camp.

I will distinguish criticism and political disagreement from trope, discrimination, coercion, harassment, threat, and violence.

I will assess safety through behavior, specificity, capability, access, fixation, and escalation—not identity profiling.

I will respect consent, safeguarding, disability access, language, privacy, and professional limits.

I will not publish graphic harm, victim/hostage imagery, testimony, ancestry, or a person’s story as content without appropriate consent and purpose.

I will correct material errors visibly and participate in review, complaints, and remediation.

I will protect Jewish life not only from danger but for Torah, family, culture, service, debate, dignity, and joy. NAME ROLE / COHORT SIGNATURE DATE Leadership pledge “I will see the pattern without seeing an enemy in every person. I will name antisemitism without becoming its mirror. I will hold to evidence, protect life, respect lawful freedom, support the targeted, build allies, correct my errors, and keep Jewish life larger than Jewish fear. I will prepare for danger and work for the future in which preparedness helped danger recede. Return. Reconnect.

Facilitator answer key: weekly checks Use with judgment. Accept equivalent answers that preserve accuracy, human dignity, evidence discipline, and safety. Do not reward ideological conformity where the question asks for analysis. Week 1: Name the evil without becoming its mirror # MODEL ANSWER / SCORING POINT 1 Because the conclusion of Jewish guilt often comes first; the narrative changes to make Jews useful as the explanation or target. 2 Essentialize, Reverse, Assign, Strip, Escalate. 3 No. Analyze content and context; criticism crosses a different line when it uses antisemitic tropes, collective blame, discrimination, threats, or denial of equal rights. 4 Whether anyone is in immediate danger; safety and emergency response outrank debate. 5 Specificity, target, timing, means/capability, access, fixation, prior conduct, leakage, and escalation—not group identity alone. 6 Because the ideology and conduct dehumanize and endanger people, while individuals retain agency and collective guilt repeats the same dehumanizing structure. Week 2: The long history: ideas that learned to mutate # MODEL ANSWER / SCORING POINT 1 Anti-Judaism is principally religious/theological opposition; modern antisemitism often racializes Jews or imagines unchangeable hidden political power, though the histories overlap. 2 Any three of blood libel, deicide, host desecration, well poisoning, or related evidence-free collective charges. 3 They narrowed economic options and sometimes concentrated visible roles; propaganda then erased context and diverse Jewish work, turning constraint into alleged essence. 4 They converted uncertainty into a target, diverted accountability, enabled seizure/debt cancellation, and mobilized existing hostility. 5 It prevents treating history as only persecution by including ideas, laws, incidents, Jewish life, and resistance/alliance. 6 Use the most specific accurate actor—ruler, council, cleric, mob, militia, institution, movement—not an entire religion or people. Week 3: Iberia, the Inquisition, and Bnei Anusim: erasure and return # MODEL ANSWER / SCORING POINT 1 It made ancestry or alleged bloodline a basis for exclusion even when a person professed Christianity. 2 They were produced by coercive institutions through accusation, surveillance, interrogation, and power; they do not transparently reveal private belief. 3 No. They may be meaningful clues, but require careful historical/genealogical evaluation; halachic status belongs to qualified processes. 4 Ancestry, identity, community belonging, and halachic status. 5 What the person is seeking—history, learning, community, spiritual guidance, genealogy, safety, or something else. 6 They may have limited security, translation, institutional partners, ritual infrastructure, anonymity, and backup capacity; online visibility can reveal people and locations. Week 4: Emancipation, conspiracy, and the return home # MODEL ANSWER / SCORING POINT 1 Jewish visibility and participation could be reinterpreted by antisemites as infiltration, making integration itself alleged proof of danger. 2 It treats Jewishness as inherited and unchangeable; conversion or citizenship cannot remove the alleged danger. 3 Forged evidence, secrecy, prejudice, media, and institutional self-protection combined to make a false charge authoritative. 4 Its conspiracy logic is self-sealing: counterevidence is recast as proof of hidden control, while sponsors adapt it to new fears. 5 A diverse movement affirming Jewish self-determination/return in the Jewish ancestral homeland, not one government, party, or policy. 6 Any specific evidence-based policy criticism; versus “Zionist” as secret Jewish control, collective guilt, discriminatory exclusion, or threat. Week 5: The Shoah: from words to systems to murder # MODEL ANSWER / SCORING POINT 1 To restore people’s full humanity and avoid representing Jews only as anonymous victims awaiting destruction. 2 Any four: law/civil service, police, military/occupation, transport, business/property seizure, professions, propaganda/media, local collaboration, courts, or border/refuge policy. 3 Policy and participation escalated through choices and conditions; many actors retained decision points, even though Nazi ideology and action were deliberate. 4 People differed in knowledge, capacity, coercion, risk, proximity, and choices; institutions and individuals also changed roles. 5 Compare specific mechanisms, name similarities and differences, establish evidence, state purpose, and avoid shock or erasure. 6 Present action that protects equal law, institutions, threatened people, evidence, refuge, accountability, and human agency. Week 6: After 1945 to the present: old structures, new vocabularies # MODEL ANSWER / SCORING POINT 1 Any one: neo-Nazism, Holocaust denial/distortion, Soviet anti-Zionism, religious/Islamist antisemitism, left/right conspiracy, or digital opportunism. 2 It shows how older secret-power and dual-loyalty tropes can be translated into anti-imperialist or anti-racist vocabulary while suppressing Jewish collective life. 3 Islamism refers to particular political ideologies; Muslims and Islamic traditions are diverse, and collective blame is inaccurate and dangerous. 4 All recognize context, allow criticism of Israel, and identify some Israel/Zionism-related expression as antisemitic; wording and emphasis differ. 5 Any two: method/definition, reporting environment/underreporting, incidents versus crimes/victims, date/jurisdiction, denominator, or cross-country incomparability. 6 Naming attacks and antisemitism, protecting Jews, acknowledging Palestinian/civilian suffering, permitting evidence-based policy debate, rejecting terrorism and collective blame. Week 7: How the lie spreads: conspiracy, influence, and verification # MODEL ANSWER / SCORING POINT 1 It converts complexity into intentional plot, supplies a villain and in-group, and provides certainty, belonging, status, or relief. 2 Transmitting a damaging accusation as a question or “just asking” so the insinuation spreads while the speaker avoids responsibility. 3 As a lead to investigate, not evidence to publish as fact. 4 Smallest testable claim; original source/date/context; independent corroboration/contradiction; uncertainty/missing information; likely informational versus amplification effect. 5 When there is doxxing, incitement, serious discrimination, operational detail, a major incident, or meaningful danger to a target. 6 Same-audience visibility, clear account of the error and new evidence, corrected statement, update time, and process review. Week 8: Future scenarios, not prophecy # MODEL ANSWER / SCORING POINT 1 A risk factor is a relatively durable condition associated with greater possibility; a warning sign is a changing observable development suggesting movement toward or away from harm. 2 An event that can accelerate mobilization or violence in a risky environment; it does not guarantee the outcome. 3 Brittle normalization, institutional exclusion, coordinated intimidation, acute crisis, resilient reversal. 4 It organizes observable evidence, thresholds, owners, and actions under uncertainty; it does not claim certainty about the future. 5 Examples: enemy/disease rhetoric, target lists, vigilantes, discriminatory emergency law, impunity; protective: enforcement, independent courts, allies, fair procedures, trained institutions. 6 An action improving safety, trust, continuity, or knowledge across multiple plausible futures. Week 9: Personal and household preparedness: survive in order to live # MODEL ANSWER / SCORING POINT 1 People, roles, access needs, communication, meeting, and reunification decisions determine what supplies and actions are useful. 2 It covers shared continuity needs across storms, fire, outage, civil disorder, targeted threat, and other disruptions before adding antisemitism-specific elements. 3 Examples: mobility/charging/transfer, medicine/refrigeration, sensory/cognitive needs, caregiver, child pickup, elder transport, service animal, language, communication aid. 4 Move to safety; call help; preserve evidence; record facts; report responsibly; rebuild strength. 5 Unique passwords/password manager, MFA, updates, recovery codes, privacy review, secure backups, or reduced geotag/real-time location sharing. 6 As voluntary, lawful, values-based options requiring qualified advice and personal context—not as panic, prophecy, shame, or coercion. Week 10: Community and institutional resilience # MODEL ANSWER / SCORING POINT 1 Because readiness also requires governance, authority, people, training, procedures, maintenance, communication, continuity, relationships, and review. 2 Profiling by ethnicity, religion, nationality, language, clothing, disability, or assumed politics. 3 Any four: alert/assessment, command, communication, life safety/accountability, accessibility, first-responder coordination, records, continuity, recovery. 4 They can reveal exploitable weaknesses and private data; only people with legitimate roles should access them. 5 Clear notice/objectives, no shock tactics, opt-outs/accommodations, accessible participation, role-appropriate scope, debrief, and support. 6 A prioritized corrective action with owner, resources, deadline, leadership oversight, and verification of closure. Week 11: Voice, digital defense, and alliances # MODEL ANSWER / SCORING POINT 1 Listen, Acknowledge, Clarify, Evidence. 2 Truth, human stake, pattern, action, invitation. 3 Direct, distract, delegate, document, delay/support. 4 When there is threat, harassment, flooding/bad-faith abuse, or safety risk; move to boundary, moderation, reporting, or emergency response. 5 Defined objective, minimum conduct, roles/decision rule, privacy, spokesperson authority, conflict process, and concrete action. 6 Any four: no rage bait, graphic harm, fabricated conflict, fake identity, inauthentic engagement, doxxing, slur headline, unverified stats, hidden manipulation; include sources/accessibility/corrections/consent. Week 12: Capstone: from informed participant to ReJEWenate leader # MODEL ANSWER / SCORING POINT 1 Safety, authority, facts, assessment, action, communication, review. 2 Time-stamped verified facts, assessments, uncertainties, response level, decisions, owners, and next review. 3 Real threat, acute distress, disclosure of active abuse/safeguarding issue, or contact with real emergency services; equivalent genuine safety event accepted. 4 Harassment, deception, doxxing, collective blame, reckless disclosure, discrimination, unauthorized representation, or refusal to correct a material error. 5 Know, protect, grow. 6 An activity is what was done; an outcome shows a change in knowledge, behavior, safety, trust, continuity, policy, or response. Source register and update discipline The manual uses supplied ReJEWenate speeches and course materials as its voice and program foundation, then cross-checks durable claims against museums, international organizations, publicsafety agencies, legal reporting portals, and the three principal contemporary antisemitism frameworks.
