With the rise of antisemitism 
and national-origin 
discrimination against Israeli-
Americans, now is the time 
for leaders to stand up with a 
voice of moral clarity.”
While honoring Israeli-
Americans, Scott and 
Rosen also condemned 
incidents of antisemitism 
with assaults and bullying 
targeting American Jews 
and Israeli-Americans, 
especially younger people in 
grade schools and on college 
campuses.
The resolution “condemns 
all forms of antisemitism, 
discrimination and violence 
that aim to marginalize or 
disenfranchise members 
of the Israeli-American 
community, the Jewish 
community broadly, and 
individuals of Israeli or 
Jewish origin; or infringe 
upon the ability of Israeli-
Americans and other 

individuals to celebrate 
Israeli-American heritage and 
a deep connection to Israel.”
“
As the third Jewish 
woman to ever serve in 
the U.S. Senate, I’m proud 
to help introduce this 
resolution to honor the 
culture, heritage and legacy of 
Israeli-Americans. At a time 
of rising antisemitism that 
impacts Israeli-Americans, 
this resolution recognizes 
their contributions to the 
United States and condemns 
all forms of hate and 
discrimination,” Rosen said.
“It particularly pains me 
to see the Jewish commu-
nity and, in particular, the 
Israeli-American subset 
targeted with national origin 
discrimination by the anti-Is-
rael Boycott, Divestment and 
Sanctions (BDS) hate move-
ment. This hate and bias have 
no place in the United States 
of America,” Scott said. 

When JSL opened the 
Brown Memory Care Pavilion 
in 2004, Janet incorporated 
Snoezelen, a unique sensory 
program for people with 
memory loss or impairments. 
Antin was a major asset to 
programming at Fleischman, 
but in her 10th year, when 
she was asked to stand in at 
Coville Assisted Living in Oak 
Park as the administrator, 
she found that she loved this 
new challenge. Although her 
position as administrator was 
supposed to be temporary, 
Antin remained 10 years. 
Antin continues to 
educate staff, volunteers and 
community groups with her 
Sensitivity Training program. 
This is intended to enlighten 
participants to feel what it’s 
like to age and understand 
the road that our older adults 

have traveled.
Soon she will meet with 
sixth-grade students at 
Hillel Day School, who will 
be participating in the Dor 
L
’Dor program that takes 
place on the JSL campus. 
Her Empathy Workshop will 
educate students about the 
treatment of JSL residents, 
and they will learn about the 
challenges older adults face 
with vision, hearing, mobility 
and memory. 
Antin has spent most of her 
career serving others with a 
special place in her heart for 
older adults and says, “You 
feel most alive when you do 
for others.
” 
She puts JSL residents first 
and this gives meaning and 
purpose to her life.
