Countering Antisemitism & Protecting Democracy: A Conversation with Amy Spitalnick


In person at Brooklyn Heights Synagogue | 131 Remsen Street Brooklyn, NY 11201
6:25 PM ET

At a moment of rising antisemitism and broader hate and extremism, the loudest voices are offering a false choice between Jewish safety and democracy. But there is no inclusive democracy without Jewish safety — and no Jewish safety without inclusive democracy. 

Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) and a nationally recognized leader on countering antisemitism and extremism and protecting democracy — who previously led the successful lawsuit against the Charlottesville neo-Nazis — will join Rabbi Lippe for a conversation on how we can effectively fight antisemitism, protect our democracy, and advance a more just and inclusive world for Jews and all communities.

An All-of-Society Approach: A Conversation with Yair Rosenberg and Amy Spitalnick on Uprooting Antisemitism


In person at Museum of Jewish Heritage — A Living Memorial to the Holocaust and online
5:00 PM EDT

Antisemitism fuels hate-filled conspiracy theories that not only drive people to commit horrible acts of violence but also undermine the very fabric of our nation. What we are seeing is a rise in violence against Jews that crosses political ideology and spectrums, and the normalization of rising antisemitism sets a dangerous precedent.

The story of Pittsburgh and what happened in the aftermath of the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history offers our nation a way forward. Join Yair Rosenberg of The Atlantic for a conversation with Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, moderated by Carole Zawatsky, CEO of The Tree of Life, for a nuanced and engaging discussion.
