| Past Conversations
Couldn't make it to one of our virtual talks? Watch the recordings: Watch an extraordinary conversation that brought together respected national leaders for a discussion of how antisemitism, racism and anti-Black/anti-Immigrant narratives have pervaded our national conversation during these tense pre-election days — AND what we can do about it. What a night! With an all-star lineup, nostalgic tunes, and the option to attend in our pajamas, we were eagerly awaiting the new experience of a virtual gala this year. But we had no idea it would leave us plotzing so hard! Watch the recording to re-live the fun. |
