As we remember two tragic anniversaries in recent Jewish History—Kristallnacht eighty-five years ago and the Tree of Life Shooting in Pittsburgh five years ago, we pause to consider anti-Semitism.
After some commemorative memorial prayers, we shall have a panel discussion with Rabbi Rob Gleisser of Penn State Hillel, graduate student Emma Baer-Simon, and Rabbi David Ostrich.
Rabbi Gleisser will address anti-Semitism on campus. Ms. Baer-Simon will address anti-Semitism on social media. Rabbi Ostrich will speak in general about the challenges anti-Semitism presents for all of us.
