Provocative talks and interactive teaching on antisemitism and Jewish studies for students and professionals, to expand their knowledge, foster critical thinking, and spark creative change.
​
We live in unprecedented times. The rise of antisemitism and other hatreds is feeding nationalism, racial supremacy, and conspiracy theories both ancient and new.
Our diverse beliefs, faiths, and identities face internal discord and external assaults. The truth of the Holocaust is both denied and celebrated. Big Lies undermine democracy and the ideals of We, the People.
​
History, memory, and experience are prisms that illuminate our present -- and paths to building an open and inclusive society.
Let’s go together.
All sessions are grounded in Jonathan's two decades as an educator, senior program director, and leader in the field. They are flexible and user-friendly for all, regardless of knowledge, background, or setting.
