"And You Shall Teach Your Children" Leiman Maisel Family Shabbaton

Fri–Sat / Jan 24–25 / 87th St and Online  
Our Shabbaton will look at the state of affairs on American college campuses, which for over a year have been the scene of intense and polarizing protests that have fomented a sharp rise in antisemitic incidents. Hearing from a diverse array of speakers, we will examine the many angles of this issue, including how we got here, the state of play, how to fight the good fight, and what the future looks like for these institutions.
