Antisemitism Culture & Identity

In this webinar, students shared their personal encounters with antisemitism, the effect that it has on their Jewish identity, and how they respond. First hand testimony is a powerful way to emotionally engage with and deepen our understanding about the impacts of antisemitism on youth today.
