Educational Session on Zoom: March 27th, 6-7pm ET Follow Up Dialogue Session in person (Medford Campus, food will be served) : April 6th, 2-4pm ET - location will be sent out to all registrants. This two-part program highly empowers participants to support inclusion and belonging efforts for the Jewish community. During the initial virtual session, we'll explore who Jews are, what antisemitism is, and how it operates. During the subsequent in-person session, we'll unpack how anti-Jewish harm shows up in the current political climate, including inside discourse around Israel & Palestine. Through small group discussion, pair shares, and Q&A there is ample time for unpacking difficult questions and challenging scenarios. Participants leave with a greater understanding of the Jewish community’s identities, lived experiences, and traumas, better prepared to be allies to the Jewish community, and how antisemitism ultimately undermines democratic, pluralistic societies and institutions
