Rogue Valley police departments are not investigating as criminal activity the baggies containing antisemitic material dropped off at people’s homes earlier this week.
The Rogue Valley Jewish Community is hosting a gathering to honor the Mayors and City Council Members of Ashland and Medford for their Stand Against Antisemitism on Nov. 19 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
The Ashland City Council issued an Antisemitism Proclamation in February, and the City of Medford is being approached for a similar move, just a few months after vandals destroyed a public menorah set up for Hanukkah. Ashland's Temple Emek Shalom: Emily Simon, who chairs Ashland's Social Equity and Racial Justice Advisory Committee (SERJAC), Dana Kline, who lives in Medford, and Steven Portnoy, the president of the congregation.

On behalf of Temple Emek Shalom, the largest Jewish congregation in the Rogue Valley, I write to express our disappointment and despair at the vandalism of the Hanukkah .
