Description
This registration is to attend the event in person.
If you'd rather join us virtually, the event will be live-streamed at rodephsholom.org/watch beginning at 11:15AM.
Antisemitism is on the rise in America, in cities and rural areas, in red states and blue states, and in guises both subtle and terrifyingly overt. In her new book, Rabbi Diana Fersko explores why we’re reluctant to discuss antisemitism—and empowers us to fight against it.
Calling on Jews and non-Jews alike, she teaches us how to speak up against hate—and counter it with a message of solidarity and hope. This is a timely conversation for anyone passionate about fighting for a better tomorrow.
Attendees will receive a copy of Rabbi Fersko's book and a light lunch will be served.
