Former 2018 congressional candidate for Philadelphia Bryan E. Leib was appointed as the new national director of Americans Against Anti-Semitism, the organization said on Sunday, citing "the major increase in anti-Semitic attacks and the rapid growth of Americans Against Anti-Semitism."
"He'll be taking charge of overseeing our national expansion with the development and organization of regional chapters, recruiting new members and volunteers, board development, and forging ties with institutional partners from across the faith spectrum," the statement read. "Bryan brings unique and relevant experience to his new role," it continued.

"I am honored and very excited to be joining the team as national director at Americans Against Anti-Semitism, an organization that has quickly become indispensable during these challenging times," Leib said. "There is so much work to be done, so many great people to work with, and yet so little time to act and make a difference. The time for talking has ended, it's time to act and I'm proud to have a stake in the fight for the very future and security of American Jewry."
Founder of Americans Against Anti-Semitism Dov Hikind said: "I am excited to tap Bryan to lead our national expansion plans. His passion and dedication for Jewish advocacy is a perfect fit for AAA. Bryan has spent his entire life fighting on the front lines for the Jewish people so I can think of no one better to help take AAA nationwide!"
