SAPIR Partnership Event
What We Miss When We Misunderstand Antisemitism
Tue / Oct 17 / 7:00 pm / 87th Street and Online
Bret Stephens, Roya Hakakian, and Rabbi Cosgrove
Taking a closer look at contemporary antisemitism, SAPIR Editor-in-Chief Bret Stephens and contributor Roya Hakakian examine the many misconceptions about this unique hatred. What distinguishes antisemitism from racism and ethnic bigotry? What does anti-Zionism look like through the eyes of someone forced to flee Iran? Is Holocaust education the solution to this oldest hatred, and if not, what is? Stephens and Hakakian challenge us to widen our lens of what it means to defend Zionism, to fight for peace and democracy, and to counteract Jewish hatred through Jewish thriving.
This event is presented in partnership with SAPIR: Ideas for a Thriving Jewish Future
