Antisemitism and Democracy
Thursday, December 12 at 10am PT/ 1pm ET
Since October 7th, the surge in antisemitism has raised important questions about how to effectively protect Jewish safety in a way that resonates with non-Jewish communities and strengthens democracy. Join Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, and AJU President Jeffrey Herbst for an insightful conversation about what strategies are working—and which ones aren’t—in the fight against antisemitism.
Amy Spitalnick is the CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs. She previously served as Executive Director of Integrity First for America, which won a groundbreaking lawsuit against the neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and hate groups responsible for the Charlottesville violence.
Dr. Jeffrey Herbst, the fourth president of American Jewish University (AJU), is an advocate for academic innovation. His leadership at AJU includes fostering growth in the Maas Center for Jewish Journeys, expanding the Maven digital platform, and improving the Brandeis-Bardin Campus.
