Mishkan Ha’am Adult Ed – How to Define Anti-Semitism in our Age

www.mishkanhaam.org
This class will offer a brief historical background of anti-Semitism and how it has shifted over time. We will focus on recently crafted definitions, including the IHRA definition and the Jerusalem Declaration, and how they address issues of speech related to Israel. We will reflect on the recent executive order that Westchester County adopted to use the IHRA definition, and look to resources from the Reconstructionist movement about the usage of this definition.
