CAJE's Departments of Adult Learning and Teen Education & Engagement, in partnership with the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), invite you to participate in an important virtual program, "How to Talk to Your Children and Grandchildren About Antisemitism" on May 11th at 7pm with

• Josh Sayles, Director of the JCRC, will moderate a conversation amongst a panel of experts:
• Sarah Emmons, FL Regional Director at the Anti-Defamation League
• Rabbi Diana Fersko, author of "We Need to Talk about Antisemitism"
• Carly Orshan, Director of CAJE's Teen Department

According to an article released by the ADL in March, 2023, "antisemitic incidents in Florida have more than doubled since 2020. Reports of antisemitic incidents have reached an all time high both locally and nationally". By empowering our children, our teens, and adults with knowledge and the skills to evaluate information critically, we can better identify and speak out against the influence of antisemitic propaganda and misinformation.

This virtual program is designed to provide information and offer participants helpful takeaways to facilitate meaningful conversations with their children and grandchildren. Don't miss this important program!
