This week, over 50 people, including CEOs and Executive Directors from 24 JCCs, are attending an intensive executive seminar Brandeis University titled “Navigating Israel and the Rise of Antisemitism.” A partnership between Brandeis University, Boundless, and JCC Association of North America, the seminar recognizes the unique role that the 172 North American JCCs play in their communities, often serving as public squares and sources of Jewish knowledge for their 1.5 million patrons per week, one-third of whom belong to non-Jewish communities. This seminar is equipping JCC leaders to navigate community life in the aftermath of recent events in Israel and rising global antisemitism. Participants are exploring the intersection of antisemitism and anti-Zionism and developing strategies for building inclusive communities. The program, curated by Dr. Rachel Fish and featuring 12 world-class scholars, includes practical learning experiences, a visit to the JCC of Greater Boston, and a case-study component. #JCCsFightingAntisemitism Shimon and Sara Birnbaum Jewish Community Center Kings Bay YM-YWHA, Inc.
