The Intellectual Iron Dome – Part 2
- This event has passed.
Hate crimes in the United States against Jews increased by 37% in 2022, according to the data released by the FBI. Since Hamas invaded Israel, killing nearly 1,200 men, women and children and kidnapping another 240, the increase in antisemitism and hate crimes have soared. Over 2,031 hate crimes against Jews have been recorded, 73% of Jewish students on campus do not feel safe, synagogues and Jewish institutions are being vandalized. What can YOU do when faced with hateful rhetoric and lies? What can YOU do when you find yourself face-to-face with antisemitism?
Join us for Part 2 as we continue to develop our own Intellectual Iron Dome. Gain the knowledge and tools you need to defend Israel and the Jewish People. This evening of interactive training is designed to help give you the tools that you need to combat the frightening rise in antisemitic confrontations right here in America, in New York and on Long Island.
