Please see the attached announcement for two 5 PM events with Eva Illouz, April 15 and 17, sponsored by the Program in Jewish Studies and the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism. In the second attachment you can see Eva’s takedown of Judith Butler that appeared recently in Ha’aretz. Both events look interesting and highly relevant, but the panel on April 17th would be my recommendation if you can only make one of these two events. Best, Ed K.

I'm pleased to announce that we have successfully opposed the unilateral proposal from AAP/SOPT Resolutions to endorse the ceasefire. This proposal was heavily biased and rife with falsehoods, inaccuracies, and unjust blame placed on Israel/Jews. The majority, 60% against 40%, voted to reject it. Eliaz

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has once again released a one-sided response, exclusively endorsing the hardships faced by the Palestinians and overlooking the suffering of Israeli children. This response, distributed widely to all AAP members, is profoundly disappointing, particularly considering the documented cases of abuse, rape, and trauma experienced by children, preventing their return home for several months. While acknowledging the importance of recognizing the suffering of the Palestinians, the blatant disregard from the Israeli perspective remains deeply troubling. https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/28392

of possible interest. Evan (I have not watched yet... but I have heard Glen Loury speak. I am particularly interested in his take on this topic.) From: Michael Poliakoff <michael.poliakoff@...> Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2024 8:59 AM To: Morris, Evan <evan.morris@...> Subject: Podcasts with Glenn Loury, George Will & hosting John Bolton “Racial preference forces blacks and Jews to confront our very different understandings of the American experience." ACTA is an independent, non-profit organization committed to academic freedom, excellence, and accountability at America’s colleges and universities. Dear friends, The American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) has the privilege of partnering with a member of our board, Paul S. Levy, and the Palm Beach Synagogue to sponsor the Levy Forum for Open Discourse in Palm Beach, Florida. Now in its second season, the Levy Forum is dedicated to fostering a spirit of fearless inquiry into the most urgent social and communal topics of our times. Thank you to those who joined us on February 6 for Glenn Loury’s lecture, “What Has Become of the Partnership Between Blacks and Jews?” Dr. Loury is the Merton P. Stolz Professor of the Social Sciences at Brown University, a social commentator, and the host of the podcast The Glenn Show. In his lecture, he highlighted the alliance between Black and Jewish communities during the civil rights movement and the contemporary tension between the communities that affirmative action “brings to the fore.” He remarked, “The policy of racial preference forces blacks and Jews to confront our very different understandings of the American experience.” Watch his full lecture on YouTube. Glenn Loury speaks to an audience at the Palm Beach Synagogue in Florida. I was delighted to interview Professor Loury on ACTA's podcast Higher Ed Now, alongside Paul S. Levy. In our discussion about defending the cultural inheritance of the liberal arts, he said, “There’s no one-size-fits-all formula, but serious depth of exploration of the inherited intellectual bequest from our forebears should be what we’re getting.” I hope you find our conversation as interesting as I did. In my last email, I promised to include the link to ACTA’s podcast interview with George Will, who spoke at the Palm Beach Synagogue on January 10. You can now listen to Mr. Will’s podcast on Higher Ed Now or anywhere you find your podcasts. LaJuan Sadler Loury, Michael B. Poliakoff, Glenn Loury, Paul and Karen Levy, and Rabbi Moshe Scheiner. If you are in the Palm Beach area, please consider joining us on Tuesday, March 5, for our next program in which Ambassador John Bolton, who served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations from 2005 to 2006 and national security advisor under President Donald Trump from 2018 to 2019, will discuss “Middle East Challenges for America and Israel.” You can register here.

Dear YFJF&F members – please see the notice below – we need you to come to Hamden Town Hall to stand against a horrible resolution that is before a committee of the Hamden Legislative council. Details and links to a counter-petition developed by Gayle Slossberg of the New Haven Jewish Federation are contained in this notice. Note – you do not need to be a Hamden resident attend the meeting (though you do need to be a resident to speak). There will be demonstrators supporting the resolution in keffiyahs with Palestinian flags and the awful “from the river to the sea” etc. placards arriving by 6 PM, but what is important is to gain entrance to the meeting hall and grab a seat so that we can have a major show of support against this resolution.

Rabbi Dov Fisher's 10-part exciting and fact-based series of one-hour classes on the Jewish Underground liberation movement (Irgun, Lechi, and Haganah) and the rise of modern Israel can be found at bit.ly/474Wnyg. In it, he uses historic video clips of Irgun, Lechi, and Haganah actions and decades of past Arab terrorist atrocities, as well as stirring musical selections from the underground and video interviews of participants, to augment data, statistics, maps, and additional historical records to create a fascinating, often gripping, and scholarly enriching educational experience about issues that remain deeply relevant today as Israel engages in an existential war in Gaza against Hamas terrorism.

Ideas Why the Most Educated People in America Fall for Anti-Semitic Lies At Harvard and elsewhere, an old falsehood is capturing new minds. By Dara Horn February 15, 2024 Listen to this article 00:00 45:15 Produced by ElevenLabs and NOA, News Over Audio, using AI narration. This article was featured in the One Story to Read Today newsletter. Sign up for it here. By now, December’s congressional hearing about anti-Semitism at universities, during which the presidents of Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, and MIT all claimed that calls for the genocide of Jews would violate their university’s policies only “depending on the context,” is already a well-worn meme. Surely there is nothing left to say about this higher-education train wreck, after the fallout brought down two of those university presidents and spawned a thousand op-eds—except that all of the punditry about diversity and free speech and criticism of Israel has extravagantly missed the point. The problem was not that Jewish students on American university campuses didn’t want free speech, or that they didn’t want to hear criticism of Israel. Instead, they didn’t want people vandalizing Jewish student organizations’ buildings, or breaking or urinating on the buildings’ windows. They didn’t want people tearing their mezuzahs down from their dorm-room doors. They didn’t want their college instructors spouting anti-Semitic lies and humiliating them in class. They didn’t want their posters defaced with Hitler caricatures, or their dorm windows plastered with Fuck Jews. They didn’t want people punching them in the face, or beating them with a stick, or threatening them with death for being Jewish. At world-class American colleges and universities, all of this happened and more. I was not merely an observer of this spectacle. I’d been serving on now–former Harvard President Claudine Gay’s anti-Semitism advisory committee, convened after the October 7 Hamas massacre in Israel and amid student responses to it. I was asked to participate because I am a Harvard alumna who wrote a book about anti-Semitism called People Love Dead Jews. As soon as my participation became public, I was inundated with messages from Jewish students seeking help. They approached me with their stories after having already tried many other avenues—bewildered not only by what they’d experienced, but also by how many people dismissed or denied those experiences. In Congress, all three university presidents offered some version of the platitudes that “Hatred comes from ignorance” and “Education is the answer.” But if hatred comes from ignorance, why were America’s best universities full of this very specific ignorance? And why were so many people trying to justify it, explain it away, or even deny it? Our era’s 10-second news cycle is no match for these questions, because the answers are deep and ancient, buried beneath the oldest of assumptions about what we think we know. Read: What Claudine Gay got right and the International Court of Justice got wrong The through line of anti-Semitism for thousands of years has been the denial of truth and the promotion of lies. These lies range in scope from conspiracy theories to Holocaust denial to the blood libel to the currently popular claims that Zionism is racism, that Jews are settler colonialists, and that Jewish civilization isn’t indigenous to the land of Israel. These lies are all part of the foundational big lie: that anti-Semitism itself is a righteous act of resistance against evil, because Jews are collectively evil and have no right to exist. Today, the big lie is winning. In 2013, David Nirenberg published an astonishing bo
