The Chosen People – Confronting Anti-Semitism

The Chosen People - Confronting Anti-Semitism

Poster by Haley Nash-Thompson '23, Strategic Communications Assistant

The brief video Anti-Semitism in our Midst - Past and Present,from the Berkley Center for Jewish Studies, charts the history of anti-semitism from its origins until today. It tackles the hard questions about different and changing forms of anti-semitism, persistent anti-Jewish stereotypes, the complex racial position of Jews in contemporary America, and the precise line between criticism of Israel and anti-semitism.  

After watching the movie, our panel will share personal stories and perspectives, and all attendees will be encouraged to actively engage in a deeper exploration of this important and challenging topic.
