Teen Workshops to Combat Antisemitism
Sessions that address the urgency of rising antisemitic incidents.
Antisemitism through the Ages
One of the most significant obstacles in combating antisemitism is the widespread ignorance of its extensive history. This presentation aims to illuminate the evolution of antisemitism throughout human history, tracing its development as a form of religious, ethnic, and racial bigotry. By identifying and understanding the persistent tropes that have endured for centuries, we can educate our communities to recognize antisemitism in all its forms and work collectively to prevent its further spread.
Antisemitism vs. Legitimate Criticism of Israel
Distinguishing between antisemitism and legitimate criticism of Israel can be clear-cut at times, but it often requires nuanced understanding and skills. This program equips participants with the tools to effectively challenge antisemitism and navigate complex discussions about Israel. By evaluating recent examples, we provide a framework for discerning between antisemitism and constructive criticism, whether in one-on-one conversations or on larger platforms.
