Current Offerings

The Levine Center To End Hate partners with the New York State Hate and Bias Prevention Unit to bring interactive trainings, workshops, and community dialogues to workplaces, schools, and public institutions across Rochester. Together, we’re building capacity for empathy, allyship, and courageous leadership.

Yom HaShoah: Between Worlds--Identity, Memory, and the Legacy of the Mischlinge

Join us on April 13th for our community's annual candle-lighting ceremony and memorial for those who perished in the Shoah. We honor the importance of each Jewish voice and uplift their stories of hardship, struggle, and survival. It is part of CHAI’s mission to remember these Jewish stories, pass them down, and say

NEVER AGAIN.

This year, we welcome Carolyn Enger, an internationally acclaimed American pianist known for her performances at institutions dedicated to remembrance and education.

ADVANCED REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT.

Traveling Trunks &

Kindness Suitcases

Traveling Trunks (for grades 5-12) are on loan to educators (then returned to the Federation) and are loaded with artifacts replicated for hands-on student inquiry. Materials include authentic passports, documents, "yellow stars" and more, all based on local Survivors' experiences in Eastern Europe between 1938 and 1945.

Kindness Suitcases are created and developed by former elementary-school educators and feature 15 age-appropriate books and 30 learning activities about the Holocaust and people who helped others during the time. Contact us to learn more about how your school can acquire a Kindness Suitcase to keep!

Antisemitism 101

Thursday, April 23: 11 am - 1:30 pm. For practitioners of Belonging and Equity and allies--those who want to learn directly from experts. This training will cover the origins of antisemitism, common tropes, and how to identify and respond when witnessing hate in real time. Fee: no cost; lunch provided.

Peer Workshops

2nd-year Levine Center Youth Ambassadors bring research and important messaging to your youth program. Topics include: anti-bullying awareness, special education equity, authentic connection, boys' mental health awareness, and building self-reliance in young Latina girls.

Teacher PD

We are thrilled to be able to offer a number of teacher workshops and PD on numerous Jewish-related topics, from Judaism 101 and Jewish pluralism to deep-dives in Holocaust scholarship and the Israel-Hamas war. Email us for more information.

Survivors in the Classroom

Current data suggests that Holocaust distortion and denial is at an all-time high. Bringing a local Survivor or "2-G" (second-generation) to deliver testimony has a profound and lasting effect on students. Email us for more information.
