DJHS aims to provide a hands–on approach to build a sense of transparency, enlightenment, and excitement in the community.

Schedule: Wednesdays, Jan 15 – Feb 26, 11:00am-12:30pm
Location: J Dallas and Online

Antisemitism has often been described as a virus that mutates, adapting to the prevailing ideologies of each historical period—whether religious, racist, or political.

This six-part course will delve into key historical periods, including:

  • The interactions between Jews and early Christianity and Islam
  • Medieval antisemitism in Christian Europe
  • The rise of racially motivated antisemitism leading to the Holocaust
  • The impact of communism and Islamism on perceptions of Jews
  • The contemporary landscape of antisemitism, spanning extreme right-wing and left-wing ideologies
