Beth El Synagogue, Judea Reform Congregation, and Jewish for Good invite you to take part in a 4-session workshop designed to help engage in meaningful dialogue surrounding antisemitism.

Facilitated by Facing History & Ourselves, this workshop was created to empower educators and community members to recognize antisemitism and provide their students and community at large with the tools they need to stand up to various forms of oppression. It is our goal that this workshop will leave you feeling more aware, supported, and empowered to have difficult conversations both within and outside of the Jewish community around issues that affect us all.

Facing History & Ourselves uses lessons of history to challenge learners to stand up to racism, antisemitism, and other forms of bigotry and hate.

Vegetarian lunch will be provided from 12:15-1:15pm.

The cost to attend is $18, which includes lunch and access to all of the sessions. Scholarships available.

Session 2: 1:15-2:30pm—Understanding Antisemitism Past and Present

Session 3: 2:45-4pm—Media Literacy and Online Antisemitism
