34-H. Shining a Light on Antisemitism

As antisemitism continues to rise in the United States, many providers may be unaware of how this ancient form of hatred is impacting their team members and residents. In this session, a representative of the American Jewish Committee will provide an overview of what antisemitism is and how it has increased dramatically since October 7, 2023. The presenter will explore the diversity and intersectional nature of Jewish identities and differentiate between what is a critique of the Israeli government and the perpetuation of anti-Jew and antisemitic beliefs. You’ll leave this session with a deeper understanding of issues surrounding antisemitism and guidance you can use to become an ally to your Jewish team members and residents.
