Defining Antisemitism
Event Details:
Since long before today’s headlines, antisemitism has been a persistent force shaping Jewish life in America and beyond. That historical throughline feels newly urgent: recent events, including the war in Gaza and the resulting protests, as well as increased activity by far-right groups like the Proud Boys, have brought questions of how to identify, define, and prosecute antisemitism to the fore. Rabbi Joshua Davidson of New York’s Temple Emanu-El, Professor Debórah Dwork, Professor Zalman Rothschild, and The New York Historical's Louise Mirrer come together for a timely conversation examining what antisemitism looks like in today’s America and how its past informs its present.
Rabbi Joshua Davidson is the senior rabbi of Temple Emanu-El in New York. Debórah Dwork is an author and director of CUNY Graduate Center’s Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity. Zalman Rothschild is Assistant Professor of Law and Horn Family Distinguished Research Scholar in Law and Religion at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Louise Mirrer (moderator) is president and CEO of The New York Historical.
