Staenberg-Loup Jewish Community Center

I am deeply honored to have participated in the Brandeis Executive Seminar, “Navigating Israel and the Rise of Antisemitism” alongside Mike Sophir, the JCC Denver CEO. Coordinated by Dr. Rachel Fish, Ph.D., (pictured below) special advisor to the Brandeis University Presidential Initiative to Counter Antisemitism in Higher Education and co-founder of Boundless, the seminar was designed to help JCC executives understand the intersection between antisemitism and anti-Zionism and how to engage communities around Israel. "The Executive Seminar provides foundational knowledge coupled with practical application to support Jewish communal professionals in their ability to lead during a moment of crisis for much of North American Jewry,” says Fish. “Clearly defining, labeling, and tackling the challenges of Jew-hatred require a systemic approach that begins with leadership. The rise of Jew-hatred in the 21st century cannot be ignored or marginalized and Brandeis University and Boundless are supporting the efforts of communal leaders to do this work."

This week, over 50 people, including CEOs and Executive Directors from 24 JCCs, are attending an intensive executive seminar Brandeis University titled “Navigating Israel and the Rise of Antisemitism.” A partnership between Brandeis University, Boundless, and JCC Association of North America, the seminar recognizes the unique role that the 172 North American JCCs play in their communities, often serving as public squares and sources of Jewish knowledge for their 1.5 million patrons per week, one-third of whom belong to non-Jewish communities. This seminar is equipping JCC leaders to navigate community life in the aftermath of recent events in Israel and rising global antisemitism. Participants are exploring the intersection of antisemitism and anti-Zionism and developing strategies for building inclusive communities. The program, curated by Dr. Rachel Fish and featuring 12 world-class scholars, includes practical learning experiences, a visit to the JCC of Greater Boston, and a case-study component. #JCCsFightingAntisemitism Shimon and Sara Birnbaum Jewish Community Center Kings Bay YM-YWHA, Inc.
