During the May 2021 conflict between Israel and Hamas, many Jews found themselves ill-equipped to navigate the discourse about Israel. To help counter this, we invite you to attend a free, four part intergenerational educational series, presented by TribeTalk featuring Dr. Rachel Fish who will provide historical context to terms and ideas that are often part of the current framing: colonialism, indigeneity, Zionism and how these concepts intersect with antisemitism. By attending these events you should feel empowered and educated to engage in conversations with your peers and contemporaries. Open to teens and adults.
Dr. Rachel Fish is a celebrated academic with 20 years of experience in the fields of Israeli history, Zionist thought, and Middle Eastern studies. Recognized for her teaching prowess and pedagogical approaches, Dr. Fish has published extensively.
Antisemitic rhetoric and violence has escalated in the United States and shows no signs of slowing down.
