ANTISEMITISM TODAY: A PAGE OUT OF AN AGE-OLD PLAYBOOK

Lynn Dumas Russin Memorial Program

This week, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reported that the number of assaults, vandalism and harassment targeting Jewish communities and individuals in the United States hit the highest number on record in 2021.
 
As a result of our learners, who have expressed a desire and interest in learning more about the rise in Antisemitism in the U.S. and around the world, the Department of Adult Learning & Growth presents this special program, sponsored by The Lynn & David Russin Family Foundation, in memory of Lynn Dumas Russin.

ANTISEMITISM TODAY:
A PAGE OUT OF AN AGE-OLD PLAYBOOK
 
Featuring
Scholar & Historian
Dr. Robert Watson
 
Wednesday, 
May 11 | 7 PM (EST)

Dr. Robert Watson will offer meaningful insight into the rise of Antisemitism today and the long history of hate that has followed the Jewish people throughout history. He will address the rise of micro-aggressions on college campuses and will include resources for how to engage in dialogue with your children and grandchildren about the rise of Antisemitism and ways to combat the vitriol and hatred.

Due to the generosity of The Lynn & David Russin Family Foundation, this program is free and open to the community.
 
Lynn treasured her Melton & More Adult Learning experience and was passionate about Jewish learning. She is fondly remembered for her vibrant personality, her dedication to family and her love of Judaism.

This program will take place virtually.
 
Registration is required to receive the ZOOM link.
