The increased manifestation of antisemitism in our country and beyond is not only painful and frightening but also complex. Join Rabbi Julie Saxe-Taller and members of Sherith Israel to learn a framework for understanding the role of antisemitism in our society and to build our capacity to address it together. Members only. In person.
We will address:
- How antisemitism is being used to fan fires of polarization, isolation and fear;
- How antisemitism impacts us as individuals as well as families and communities;
- How antisemitism and other oppressions such as racism interact;
- What we can do to build our resilience, counter antisemitism and maintain relationships across differences in experience and opinion.
Rabbi Julie Saxe-Taller was the Lead Organizer for the California Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC-CA), the statewide network of congregations organizing for justice from 2018-2023. She previously served as Rabbi for Sherith Israel in San Francisco. She lives in Berkeley and is passionate about bringing the spiritual, creative and justice-seeking elements of Judaism together with people of all ages.
