The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism has been enthusiastically and widely adopted by entities and governments around the world. And yet, local Jewish communities continue to wrestle with it, particularly because of its inclusion of examples of contemporary antisemitism that illustrate the demonization/delegitimization/double standards applied to Israel and how they can be expressions of antisemitism. Three leading experts, Holly Huffnagle, AJC’s U.S. Director of Combating Antisemitism; Amanda Berman, Executive Director of Zioness; and Rabbi Josh Weinberg, Executive Director of the Association of Reform Zionists of America, who will help us explore the ways in which this definition has been embraced by some and refuted by others. We look forward to you joining us for, what we believe will be, a lively and fascinating discussion.

Recent antisemitic incidents in American schools - including its most elite public and private schools - have been disturbing. Join us to learn about some of the most important organizations working in schools and with young people across the country (and beyond). Together, these organizations are engaging hundreds of thousands of schools, teachers, and young people of all backgrounds in conversations about antisemitism, bigotry, the Holocaust, Israel, and what it means to be Jewish today.

Antisemitism has always been part of the American landscape, uniquely shaped (and mitigated) by American culture, values, and laws. We can't understand where we are today without some sense of where we've been, and without an appreciation for the manifold ways in which the American experience continues to shape antisemitism - and the cultural, communal and legal responses to it. Join us as four exceptional speakers offer overviews of our distinctly American version of antisemitism.
