As hate crimes and mass shootings continue to spread across the US with little legislative reform, it becomes increasingly important to stay informed and connected with others. June is Gun Violence Awareness Month, and NCJWSTL is honored to host Cheryl Drazin from the Anti-Defamation League to speak on the connection between antisemitism and gun violence.

 

As Vice President of ADL’s Central Division, Cheryl Drazin and her team work daily to fight antisemitism and all forms of hate in the Austin, Heartland, Michigan, Midwest, Mountain States, Plains States/CRC, Southwest and Texoma regional offices.

 

As a Texan, she closely watched last year when an armed man, making antisemitic statements, entered the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, TX while members celebrated Shabbat morning services. This terrifying attack certainly wasn’t the first act of violence based in antisemitism; and, as many experts warn, it might not be the last.

 

Please join us for a special program to learn more about how we can push back against this violence. There is a direct connection between antisemitism and gun violence and Chery will share her perspectives based on the work that ADL had done throughout the Midwest.

 

Please RSVP to attend either in person or on zoom – both options are available – by clicking here. Space at the NCJWSTL office is limited so make your reservation today. If you have any questions, please contact Jen Bernstein at jbernstein@ncjwstl.org or call the NCJWSTL offices at 314-993-5181.

 

We are pleased to offer this opportunity to the community at no cost in partnership with ADL Heartland.
