2020 CommUNITY Conversations: Talking About Anti-Semitism
Join us for an important discussion about anti-Semitism, historically and in the present — what it is, what it looks like and how we can all stand against this insidious form of oppression.
The workshop will address:
- Personal and group perceptions of anti-Semitism, stereotpes about Jews, and Jewish internalized oppression
- Current events and how to put them in perspective; what they mean in the current time and over time
- Understanding anti-Semitism so that Allies can interrupt it.
Goals for Allies, to understand:
- What anti-Semitism is and how they can support Jewish people
- The history of anti-Semitism and tropes associated with anti-Semitism
- What anti-Semitism represents in the world and how it is used
Goals for folks who Identify as Jewish:
- Examine effects of anti-Semitism
- Express pride in Jewish Heritage
- Ask for specific support from allies
Facilitators: Richard Moss, Elena Loomis, La Verne Baker Leyva, Caroline Haskell
