Building a vibrant and healthy community doesn’t happen by accident. It is the result of dedicated people committing their time and resources to ensure vital programs exist.

Now, it’s our turn to step up. By giving back today, we ensure these programs thrive for the long term and set an example for our children to follow. It’s about more than just working and coming home—it’s about playing an active role in the heart of our community.

It’s not just about what you do for a living, but how you do it. Ben and Eddie talk about watching their dad work taught and how it taught them that integrity and hard work are the ultimate standard. He instilled in them from a young age that a job isn’t finished until it’s done right and you’ve gone above and beyond. Character is the real work ethic.

Building a commercial real estate legacy while giving back to the community that raised them. 🏢🏙️

We loved having Ben and Eddie Cherry, on the podcast to talk about their 50-year family business and their shared passion for the future of St. Louis. From reading the St. Louis Business Journal as kids to now serving on boards like the Jewish Federation and Covenant House, these brothers are true advocates for a vibrant and growing community.

Whether they are advising nonprofits on real estate matters pro bono or working to improve the perception of downtown, for the Cherry brothers, it’s about more than just closing deals—it’s about using their talents to make a lasting impact.

Stop wasting time on endless back-and-forth. Discover the power of coming together to work collaboratively and reach your goals faster. True strength in public policy is found in how many people are brought into the process, rather than who is pushed out.

If you think it takes a massive movement to start a change? Think again.

American history proves that it actually takes fewer people than you might expect to truly make a difference. Time and again, when people come together, we find a way to overcome. It’s our time to do the same.

Facing modern discrimination requires a deep breath and a focus on the problem at hand.

While challenges remain, we are moving past an era where Jewish people were openly barred from hotels, property ownership, and employment.

Today, the ADL and a growing network of community organizations are working together to address these issues head-on. There is strength in our collective dedication.

On the latest “Jews in the Lou” podcast, we sit down with Jordan Kadosh, the Regional Director for the ADL Heartland region, for an in-depth conversation on the organization’s century-long mission to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and secure justice for all. Jordan details the ADL’s core pillars of protecting, educating, and advocating, explaining how these efforts translate into real-world impact through programs like “No Place for Hate” in local schools and legislative victories like Missouri’s “Unmask Act”.

The discussion also tackles the modern challenges of combatting anti-semitism, from analyzing rising incident trends to navigating the complexities of bias on social media and AI platforms. Despite a violent year for the Jewish community in 2025, Jordan shares an encouraging outlook, highlighting the power of diverse groups coming together to drive positive change.

New episodes of “Jews in the Lou” drop every other week in partnership with the St. Louis Jewish Light. For more information or to report an incident, visit adl.org.
