SUMMARY:Antisemitism and University Life
DESCRIPTION:Rarely a day goes by that we don’t hear about antisemitic hate on a college campus—whether it is the appearance of swastikas in public spaces\, the defacement of mezuzahs at Jewish student dormitories\, or progressive student groups excluding Jewish students from their identity communities. What is really going on? And what can we\, as a community\, do about it?  \nJoin Rachel Fish\, Ph.D.\, co-founder of Boundless\, for a conversation with Rabbi Michelle Dardashti and student Isaac Sonnenfeldt—both from Brown University’s Narrow Bridge Project\, which brings together students with a diverse set of ideological outlooks to discuss Jewish peoplehood\, Zionism\, and antisemitism. The session is being offered as part of the JCC’s Antisemitism in America: Charting a Path Forward series and will include opportunities for small-group discussions. \nLearn More and Register Now
