• Facing Anti-Semitism in our Lives

Unfortunately the reality that we live in means that we are surrounded by ignorance and hate, and some of that is directed at us and our community. Each of us that have experienced any amount of antisemitism can have feelings of isolation, anxiety, and hopelessness as a result.

Come learn about accepting your own and other’s identities to build a loving and respecting community.
