Antisemitism — The Worlds Oldest Conspiracy Theory on Zoom
Rabbi Joel Rembaum
In ten sessions we will explore the rise and evolution of antisemitism, defined simply as “hatred toward Jews” (IHRA — International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance). Our study will be text based and will emphasize interactive discussion. The documents will be provided in advance. There will be some lecturing, primarily to provide historical background. Our study will be organized chronologically:
Ancient
Greek and Roman sources through the lens of Josephus Flavius.
Medieval
Christian and Muslim writings through the 16th century.
Modern
The rise and evolution of secular antisemitism from the 19th through the 21st centuries, and the continuity of religion-based antisemitism.
Our class will meet Wednesdays, 12:00-1:30 pm, starting November 6, 2025.
Class dates: November 6, 13, 20; December 11, 18; January 8, 15, 22, 29; February 5
