8/4 Workshop: BDS ANTI-SEMITISM ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES
Everything college students and college-bound families need to know to combat the threat to the Jewish community here and abroad.
College students, parents and grandparents can learn how to respond to the BDS boycott Israel propaganda spreading across college campuses which, in turn, threatens the future of America's Jewish community.
“The BDS boycott propaganda against the state of Israel is an even greater threat to the American Jewish community… the future American Jewish community comprised of our kids," warns First Hebrew Rabbi Dana Z. Bogatz. "Many college-age Jewish kids do not have the tools to respond to the hate spewed at them by the BDS campaigners; our kids may have been raised in an environment where they have not experienced anti-Semitism but will now be exposed to virulent diatribes against Jews and against Israel."
The purpose of the August 4th workshop is to expose this threat and educate Jewish college kids. “This is the time when they may be influenced by the lies and propaganda thrown at them and they need tools and resources to fall back on," Rabbi Bogatz states.
