Jewish Unforgettable Ladies Interested in Eating Together (JULIETs) will host “Understanding and Combating Contemporary Antisemitism,” a presentation by Sarah Markowitz Schreiber, director of education and programs for the Jewish Community Relations Bureau | American Jewish Committee (JCRB|AJC).
The program will explore what caused the recent increase in antisemitic speech and incidents and explain how to identify it in its various manifestations. Schreiber will talk about how to recognize common antisemitic stereotypes and tropes and determine when anti-Israel rhetoric and actions veer into antisemitic territory. Questions on how to combat antisemitism and when it violates the law will also be addressed.
The program will take place at Congregation Beth Torah (6100 W. 127th St., Overland Park, KS 66209) on Sunday, Sept. 29, at 12:30 p.m. Reservations are required by Sept. 26; those wanting more information or to RSVP can contact Susie Klinock at .
Jewish women (and non-Jewish women with a Jewish spouse) are invited to all JULIETs events, and no synagogue affiliation is required. Attendees should bring their own lunch or snack; JULIETs will provide beverages and paper goods.
Sept. 29 is also the date when those who ordered Michael Crane’s blintzes for break-the-fast will pick up their food in the Beth Torah lobby between 10 a.m. and noon. Attendees of the JULIETs event who ordered blintzes have the option of keeping them chilled until the conclusion of the event.
