Navigating Antisemitism in Public Schools

 

In today’s uncertain climate for our community, parents of Jewish children in public elementary schools are navigating increasingly complex conversations about identity, belonging, and antisemitism. This in-person forum brings parents together to learn, connect, and build confidence in supporting their children with pride and resilience.

 

Through expertly facilitated sessions and interactive breakout discussions, the day is designed to create a space for learning, honest conversation, and moments of Jewish joy. Parents will also have the opportunity to connect with others facing similar experiences and leave feeling more prepared and supported.

 

Participants will leave with practical tools and shared wisdom to help them:

  • Recognize and understand different forms of antisemitism in school settings
  • Navigate difficult conversations with educators, administrators, and peers
  • Support their children in responding with confidence and resilience
  • Strengthen Jewish identity and pride within their families
  • Connect with other parents facing similar experiences
