Antisemitism is on the rise. Not only in this country, but across the world. What's our role in confronting hate head on? How do we talk about it with our families, friends, and loved ones?

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has recorded a dramatic increase in U.S. antisemitic incidents following the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre (https://www.adl.org/resources/press-release/adl-records-dramatic-increase-us-antisemitic-incidents-following-oct-7).

To help us navigate this recent surge in hate, Kai and Wendy welcome long time friend Rabbi Jennifer Jaech to the podcast.

Rabbi Jaech is active in interfaith work in the community with an emphasis on social justice.  She is a former Co-Chair of Reform Jewish Voice of New York State and served on the Union for Reform Judaism’s Commission on Social Action and the Central Conference of American Rabbis’ Committee on Justice, Peace and Civil Liberties.

Currently she is the Senior Rabbi of Temple Israel of Northern Westchester.
