NINE MONTHS LATER: NEW FRAMEWORKS FOR CONFRONTING CONTEMPORARY ANTISEMITISM
With Dr. Shuly Rubin Schwartz, Chancellor and Irving Lehrman Research Professor of American Jewish History, JTS

Drawing on the conversation that emerged from JTS’s Antisemitism and Allyship convening, Chancellor Schwartz will reflect on the recent spike in antisemitism globally, how we got to this moment, and how we move forward.  Her discussion will weave together insights gleaned from the long history of antisemitism and interrogate the idea of American exceptionalism.
