Response to Anti-Semitism: Community Event

From a barrage of bomb threats made against Jewish community centers to a swastika scrawled on a bathroom wall at Schreiber High School, from a social media post depicting a local Jewish politician as a character from “Fiddler on the Roof” to a Disney-sponsored You Tuber streaming “Death to all Jews” to our children’s phones, rising anti-Semitism is no longer just a worldwide problem, it’s a local one.

Please join our expert panel for an analysis of the current situation and a discussion of solutions to combat anti-Semitism. 

Panelists:

Rep. Tom Suozzi, U.S. House of Representatives (D-NY);

Etzion Neuer, Director of Community Services, Anti-Defamation League New York;

Thomas Krumpter, Acting Commissioner, Nassau County Police Department;

Karen Sloan, President of the Board of Education, Port Washington Union Free School District

Moderator:

Jodie Siff, Rabbi at the Reconstructionist Synagogue of the North Shore­­­­­­­­

During the discussion, children in K–6th grades are also invited to participate in a simultaneous program that will focus on acceptance and diversity.

Co-sponsored by Chevrat Tefillah, Community Synagogue, Port Jewish Center, Reconstructionist Synagogue of the North Shore, Sid Jacobson JCC, Temple Beth Israel, Temple Judea of Manhasset and Temple Sinai of Roslyn.
