DESCRIPTION:Join us for a symposium to confront vexing issues with candid, far ranging 
 discussion from a variety of viewpoints. Many people have the impression 
 that the world is filled with new threats to Jewish life. These threats are 
 most visible in France and the Middle East, and less so elsewhere. Still, 
 this mounting antagonism intersects with anti-Zionism and has increasingly 
 taken on features reminiscent of old-style political anti-Semitism. And the 
 resonance of militant Islam, felt not only in the Middle East but also in 
 Europe and beyond, has added another unsettling dimension to this picture. 
 According to some, the landscape will likely worsen.\n\nSpecial 
 Presentation by Joby Warrick, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Black Flags: 
 The Rise of ISIS\n\nKeynotes, Workshops, and Panel\nAbigail Michelson

 the relationship between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism Europe, the Middle 
 East, and in the United States?\n* How concerned should we be with 
 extremism in the Jewish world, and in particular in Israel and the West 
 Bank?\n* Does Jewish extremism have an impact on how Jews are seen and on 
 the future stability of the Jewish State?\n* How potent are voices of 
 moderation and to what extent have they been 
 marginalized?\n\nPre-registration is strongly encouraged. Register here:
