Read the new Listening Project Report
Since this summer, JCOGS has embarked on a Listening Project where members have shared personal and emotional responses since October 7—on antisemitism, their relationship to Israel, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and more.

    American Antisemitism – Past & Present with Rabbi Dan Judson
    Wednesday, Nov 12th 7:00p to 8:30p
    In this course we will explore this deeply troubling but deeply fascinating history of American antisemitism, paying particular attention to the present rise of antisemitism and trying to make historical sense of this moment. Even the antisemitism seen today from those who would decry Israel as an illegitimate state and Jews as imperial colonialists that should be shunned, even this idea has its own history which we will explore.
