Join Rabbi Jill Jacobs, CEO of T’ruah, and Rabbi Jonah Winer, T’ruah’s Director of Learning, for a conversation that attempts to answer the question: Why is Antisemitism at the Center of Attacks on Democracy?
Here’s why this topic is important now: Over the past few months, the Trump administration has detained and attempted to deport international students, stripped funding from universities, and instituted a new travel ban — and Trump has claimed to do these things in the name of fighting antisemitism.
Why is the administration invoking antisemitism in order to dismantle democracy? What are potential implications for the Jewish and broader community, and how can the Jewish community respond?
