All Politics is Local: Amy Spitalnick in Conversation with Andrew Silow-Carroll

This year’s mayoral election has had an outsized impact on the Jewish community in New York City and around the country, shining a spotlight on the place of Judaism and Zionism in local politics. The race raised the already-high levels of tension and polarization in our NYC Jewish community, and with the election over, many of us are asking: Where do we go from here? Is a greater sense of unity possible? How can we go about healing the fractures among New York’s Jewish communities?

Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council on Public Affairs, offers reflections and analysis in conversation with Andrew Silow-Carroll, editor at large of the New York Jewish Week.

Understanding Antisemitism Webinar

Learning and teaching about the Holocaust is not only about remembering history, but about preventing the dehumanization and violence born of antisemitism and hate. Together, NEA and JCPA will honor the six million Jews and the millions of others systematically persecuted and murdered by the Nazi regime. We mark this day as antisemitism and harassment continue to pose real and growing threats to Jewish students and educators today.
