Description

Outsmarting Antisemitism takes this dark subject on squarely, with a sense of optimism, profound faith, and a distinctly Jewish approach. Rise above hate. We cannot let antisemitism define our Judaism, but we cannot ignore it either. As direct memory of the Holocaust fades, Jews around the world are wondering whether the patterns of past centuries are returning, in both the Old and New Worlds, where Jews experience more hate crimes than any other group. Are Jewish people doomed to be stuck in this cycle forever? Is there a way to escape this history of hate? Through illuminating source texts and captivating case studies, this course considers the sources of this ancient scourge, along with the appropriate strategies for overcoming it. It’s time to find the confidence to fight hate with hope and to stand tall against antisemitism with positivity, purpose, and plenty of Jewish pride! Chabad Uptown offers a large and varied menu of educational and social events for Jewish families and young professionals in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood. Guided by the idea that there should be a place whose doors are open to every Jew, of all backgrounds and affiliations, UptownJew employs an open approach to Jewish community life. There is no membership, allowing participants to partake of whatever programs and services suit their individual or family needs
