Outsmarting antisemitism It’s hard to outrun it. It’s time to outsmart it. Against the backdrop of a recent uptick in antisemitism and the increased anxiety it has brought to the Jewish community, this course sets out to beat this age-old cancer — with purpose, positivity and pride. Marshaling historical analysis, Talmudic sources, Jewish mysticism and contemporary expert analysis, the four lessons of this course provide insight, perspective, practical direction and personal reassurance to motivate and inspire proud, fearless Jewish life. Four Tuesday evenings, starting Tuesday, Oct. 19, 7:30 - 9 p.m.
