"Biden Combats Rising Antisemitism with White House Hanukkah Ceremony"

President Biden is hosting a Hanukkah reception at the White House as concerns over rising antisemitism in the US and abroad continue to grow amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. The Biden administration has previously announced a national strategy to counter antisemitism, but the issue has intensified since the conflict began. The reception will be attended by President Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, who is the first Jewish spouse of a nationally elected leader. Universities in the US have also faced criticism for failing to protect Jewish students amid fears of antisemitism.
