August Lunch & Learn | Antisemitism/Bullying

When: Thursday, August 15 | 12:00 – 1:00 PM

Where: Zoom

RSVP Here

We have unfortunately heard countless stories of severe and persistent bullying and harassment of Jewish students since the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas against Israel. These incidents are deeply troubling, and the rise in antisemitism demands our attention and action.

Bigotry is often the result of a lack of knowledge and familiarity. As a response, JCRC St. Louis developed Student to Student, a program that reduces stereotypes and prejudice in the students it reaches. Initially funded in 1992 by a planning grant of the Jewish Federation, Student to Student has reached thousands of students in area schools that lack a Jewish presence. Young people who have had this experience can now put a “human face” to Judaism—the best antidote to bigotry and intolerance.

We are so excited to hear from Student to Student Coordinator Lauren Abraham and several of her student leaders for our August Lunch and Learn. They will explain how they are confronting antisemitism and bullying, one presentation at a time.
