What’s behind today’s resurgence of antisemitism and what can we do about it? UJA/JCC Greenwich invites the community to explore this important issue at two upcoming events.
Film Screening: Hate Spaces: The Politics of Intolerance on Campus
Sunday, April 30 at 5 p.m.
Bow Tie Criterion Cinemas, 2 Railroad Ave.
This powerful new documentary examines how anti-Semitism is being made fashionable at many American universities through the ongoing academic de-legitimization of Israel and the normalization of hatred in the name of social justice. A must-see for families with high school and college students. Teens are invited to stay for dinner and discussion following the screening. Co-sponsored by Galvanize.
Tickets $10 adults, $8 teens. Register at jccgreenwich.org or 203-552-1818.
