Join us for a timely look at antisemitism and public discourse.

At a time when public discourse feels more polarized than ever, there is a growing tolerance for rhetoric that dehumanizes or assigns collective blame. In these conditions, Jews are too often cast as symbols rather than people: scapegoated, blamed, and pulled into conspiratorial narratives that threaten Jewish safety and a healthy pluralistic society.

How does anti-Jewish harm escalate during moments of social strain? And what responsibility do institutions, leaders, and communities share in interrupting these patterns before harm becomes normalized?

CJP’s Center for Combating Antisemitism (CCA) invites you to join Oren Jacobson, founder and CEO of Project Shema, and Rabbi Marc Baker, CJP’s president and CEO, for a thoughtful, timely conversation exploring how antisemitism operates, why rhetoric matters, and what it will take to hold the complexity a pluralistic society requires.

If you have any questions or need special accommodations, please email Samantha at SamanthaR@cjp.org.
