The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world’s leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry. ADL is often asked when is criticism of Israel anti-Semitism and why? Kenneth Jacobson, who has been with ADL since 1972, is a noted author and articulate speaker on topics related to anti-Semitism, Israel and the Middle East. He will answer this question during a special presentation jointly sponsored the ADL and the Jewish Community Center.

The Center of Jewish Living and is pleased to partner with the ADL to present a lecture by Kenneth Jacobson, the ADL Deputy National Director on this important topic.  The lecture is FREE and open to the entire community.  This program is being made possible by the ADL’s Goldensohn Initiative to Fight Anti-Semitism and the Edith and Sidney Goldensohn Fund in partnership with the Jewish Community Center.

FREE. RSVPs are requested to ADL at southwest@adl.org.

The Jewish Community Center has founded the Center for Jewish Learning and Living, a collaborative process that brings together the arts and culture programming of the Center, such as the Book and Arts Fair, the Jewish Film Festival, and the Jewish Music Festival, and the education initiatives of the Center, such as the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School, and the Bunny and Leo Horvitz Scholar-in-Residence Program. In addition, this collaboration brings additional programs and staff to the Jewish initiatives of the JCC, with high hopes that more members of our community may be touched by meaningful Jewish experiences.
