SUMMARY:CIESJ Presents: The Use and Misuse of "Antisemitism"
DESCRIPTION:How To Protect Jews Without Sacrificing Our Freedoms\nOver the past several months\, major Jewish organizations have become increasingly alarmed that the important cause of fighting antisemitism has been misappropriated by the federal government to undermine our liberal democratic society — civil rights\, free speech\, inclusive society – as well as attacking higher education. This authoritarianism\, when combined with its white supremacy\, invariably leads to discrimination against women and minorities\, including Jews. \nOur distinguished panel will discuss the key aspects of defining what is and is not antisemitism\, including its use in dealing with anti-Israel protests on college campuses\, elimination of DEI programs and offices of civil rights\, and cancelling funding for universities. \nOur panel includes Rabbi David Saperstein\, former Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism and former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom; Judith Lichtman\, attorney\, life-long leader in advocating for women’s rights\, and a founder of Emily’s List; and Arno Rosenfeld\, an enterprise reporter for The Forward with a focus on antisemitism and its relationship to activism against Israel. \n\n\n A reception will follow for in-person attendees. Livestream information will be sent via confirmation email. \nRegister

SUMMARY:TSWRJ Tovanot Program
DESCRIPTION:Since October 7\, 2023\, conversations about Israel and Palestine have become increasingly polarized\, leaving many feeling unprepared or conflicted. Tovanot offers a dual-narrative approach that deepens understanding of the region’s history and politics while fostering empathy for both Israelis and Palestinians. Rejecting binary thinking\, it encourages engagement with diverse perspectives and acknowledges both people’s national aspirations. \nProgram creator and leader Dr. Ruti Kadish grew up in Israel and moved to the U.S. after her military service\, earning a BA in Women’s Studies and a PhD in Near Eastern Studies from UC Berkeley. She held a postdoc in Israel Studies at the University of Maryland and was a Fellow at the Mandel School in Jerusalem\, where she developed progressive Israel curricula. A former diversity education consultant\, Ruti has spent the past 15 years working in Jewish nonprofit education and resource development. \nRegister \nThanks to a generous grant from WRJ’s Mid-Atlantic District\, there is no participation fee for this seminar. We expect the event to fill up to its maximum 40 participants quickly. We will keep a waiting list for those who register after the seminar is full. \nNote: the Tovanot program has been held recently at Temple Sinai twice in its longer (12- hour) format: once for confirmation students and once for adult congregants. Ruti has condensed the material into a 2-hour format that will make it more accessible to a wider audience.   \nQuestions? contact templesinaiwrj@gmail.com \n
