Dear Friends,
I would like to let you know that I was invited by my colleagues at the Jewish Identity and Antisemitism Collective, a group of scholars established after October 7, to make a presentation this coming Sunday (November 15th) at 9 AM PT 12 PM ET. The presentation will take place online via Zoom.
My presentation is entitled “Impact of Antisemitism on the Descendants of Holocaust Survivors“, and I will include in it the results of my recent study with colleagues Prof. Amit Shrira from Bar-Ilan University and Prof. Yoav Bergman from the Ashkelon Academic College, in which many of you participated and so generously gave of your time. I cannot thank you enough for that. It is important to document what is happening in the environment around us, and how it is impacting Jewish people in general, and descendants of survivors, in North America. One of the added stressors Jewish people are dealing with now is not only antisemitism, but the invalidation and dismissal of Jewish pain. In order to fight against what is happening in organizations such as the APA and many other settings, quantitative data is critical. It is my honor to be part of several groups that endeavor to record, to empirically document, and to disseminate this information as widely as possible, to fight against the massive attempts to silence our voice.
More information about my presentation, including the link to register, can be found by clicking on the image above. I hope to see as many of you as possible on Sunday on Zoom.
Irit Felsen
