Hadassah Condemns Antisemitic Terrorist Attack in Boulder, Colorado

NEW YORK, NY — Hadassah, The Women’s Zionist Organization of America, issued the following statement condemning the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colo., on June 1, 2025:

“We are devastated to share that several members of our Hadassah family were injured in the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colo., as they participated in an event to remember the hostages kidnapped by Hamas. Our hearts are with all of the victims of this horrific hate crime and with Jewish communities across the country, who are feeling anxious and afraid to take part in everyday activities.

“This tragedy is a stark reminder of the alarming rise in antisemitic hatred and extremism and comes less than two weeks after the targeted murder of two young Israeli Embassy staffers leaving a Jewish event in Washington, DC. During this difficult time, we must take immediate action to address the safety of the Jewish community and redouble our efforts to combat antisemitism in all forms.”
