ANTISEMITISM, ANTIZIONISM, & HOW WE MEET THIS MOMENT
Three Thursdays: December 3, 10 & 17, 10:15–11:45 AM. In person, live-streamed, and recorded.

The world's oldest hatred keeps learning new languages. In three sessions, Rabbi Blake traces antisemitism through its primary sources: the anti-Jewish polemics embedded in ancient scripture, the blood libels and expulsions of medieval Christendom, the racial pseudoscience of the Nazis, and the strange afterlife of Nazi and Soviet propaganda in today's antizionism. Along the way, we will face the hard questions. When does criticism of Israel cross a line, and who gets to draw it? Why does this hatred mutate and persist? And what does this moment ask of us, as Jews and as a community? Come for the history. Leave equipped to meet the moment.
