Antisemitism: Understanding Our Contemporary Moment

Late Fall 2025 – Dates TBD | Three-part Series

We are witnessing a resurgence of antisemitism across the political spectrum that, for many Jews, has strained relationships, communities, and political alliances.  Yet the way we speak about antisemitism often fails to capture the multiple identities we hold as Jews, particularly racial identity.  What does antisemitism look like today and historically?  How can we speak about it accurately and compassionately, leaving space for nuance and the ways our different Jewish identities shape how we experience antisemitism?  And what might we do about it individually and collectively?

This event is cosponsored by Project Shema.
