🎉The B’nai B’rith Henry Dunant Lodge in Geneva celebrated its 75th anniversary on Oct. 29, bringing together nearly 90 participants, including presidents and representatives of B’nai B’rith lodges from Switzerland and France.

The event featured remarks by H.E. Ambassador Daniel Meron, Israel’s Permanent Representative to Israel at the UN-Geneva, who highlighted a lesser-known chapter in the legacy of Henry Dunant, founder of the Red Cross and first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize: long before the establishment of the State of Israel, Dunant advocated for the restoration of a Jewish homeland, making him one of the early non-Jewish supporters of .

Reflecting on this remarkable historical connection, Ambassador Meron noted, “The man whose name became synonymous with humanitarianism was also among the early non-Jewish advocates of Jewish national restoration.”

He added, “...I am reminded daily of the importance of defending both universal principles and the legitimate rights of the Jewish people. Humanitarian principles must be upheld consistently. They must apply to everyone, without discrimination, and without double standards.”

The evening also featured a musical performance by pianist David Greilsammer and clarinetist Gilad Harel.

B’nai B’rith International Senior Vice President Eric Engelmayer represented the organization at the celebration.

🌍 IMPACT: Emerging Leaders Fellowship | Tackling Antisemitism in International Organizations

How are international organizations tackling antisemitism, and how do special envoys ensure that political commitments become meaningful action?

This week, our IMPACT fellows explored these questions with two distinguished guests: Fernando Lottenberg, Special Advisor on Antisemitism at the Organization of American States (OAS) and Dr. Pascale Falek, Policy Officer in the European Commission office of the Coordinator for Combatting Antisemitism and Fostering Jewish Life.

Bringing together perspectives from Europe and the Americas, the session took participants behind the curtain to see how international institutions work with governments, Jewish communities and civil society to confront antisemitism, develop effective policies and strengthen cooperation across borders.

🌍 IMPACT: Emerging Leaders Fellowship is a joint initiative of B’nai B’rith International and the World Union of Jewish Students (), bringing together emerging Jewish leaders from around the world to engage with experts, strengthen their leadership and advocacy skills, and build networks to make an impact in their communities and beyond.

📙 On this episode of Conversations with B’nai B’rith, Honorary CEO Dan Mariaschin speaks with award-winning author Dara Horn about antisemitism as a lie rather than an ordinary form of bigotry. Horn explains the foundational “Big Lie” that has been weaponized against Jews for thousands of years—one that falsely frames anti-Jewish hatred as a righteous act of moral resistancel.

Five years after publishing “People Love Dead Jews,” Horn returns to the program to explore her hopeful new book, “The Final Solution to the Jewish Question: A Love Story for the Living.” They discuss the failures of traditional Holocaust education, the history of anti-Zionism, the compromises of the American Jewish “Golden Age,” the organized plot to poison AI with anti-Jewish propaganda and much more. https://youtu.be/xWLTBF3JqfM
