Lesson Outline

Lesson 1
The Eternal People 

We’ll take a clear look at the facts on the ground, examining the current statistics and realities of antisemitism to understand what’s actually happening, not just what it feels like, and from there we’ll reframe the conversation, shifting from fear to clarity and from reaction to purposeful action as we explore how Jewish history and resilience point us toward a more confident path forward, even in challenging times.

Lesson 2
No Apologies We look at some of the explanations for antisemitism that have been offered throughout the ages to emerge with an important principle: the problem with hating Jews lies not with the Jews but with the haters. Internalizing this hate is not a healthy response.
 

Lesson 3
The Promised Land Today, hatred of Jews commonly manifests itself as antagonism toward the Jewish State. This class distinguishes all-out antisemitism from some more nuanced sub-strains. It also examines the state of Israel education and the very nature of Jewish nationhood.
 

Lesson 4
Change of Heart Psychology, neuroscience, and recent history show us that neither friend nor foe should ever be taken for granted. With a bit of subtlety and conviction, and always with trust in G-d, we find that the dark days of the past are no cause for pessimism ahead.
