The Awareness Center: what Wikipedia removed
The Awareness Center was a nonprofit whose stated mission was ending sexual violence in the Jewish community, known for publicly naming accused clergy. The opening once noted that “Video from this interview has been used by anti-Semitic groups to perpetuate the myth that Judaism countenances such practices.” That sentence is gone from the opening, though the word survives twice elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that the center’s material was cited by antisemitic groups to spread a myth about Judaism.
The word “antisemitism” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2015. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 2. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
