Saturday, March 16 at 7:00 PM: Antisemitism and Me

Jews come in all shapes and sizes, from many different backgrounds and experiences. So it goes without saying that we may experience antisemitism through our own unique lenses as well. Join us as we explore the topic of antisemitism with guest speaker Tema Smith, designed especially for our Next Dor cohort, welcoming individuals aged 20-40, including our Jews by choice.
