Antisemitism in America

Thursday, October 17, 7:30-9:00 pm

Antisemitism in America dates back to the arrival of the first Jewish people in 1654 and it still persists today.

Join us as Dr. Daniel Barrett moderates an important Conversations discussion with Dr.Ellen M. Umansky, the Carl and Dorothy Bennett Professor of Judaic Studies emeritus at Fairfield University. Dr. Umansky will discuss the origins of antisemitism in the United States, where the First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion, but where religious minorities have been subjected to violence and prejudice since colonial days.
