Topic: Between Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism: Is There a Difference?

Israel has become a hot topic almost everywhere — in politics, in the work place, on high school and college campuses, and at kitchen tables. And for better or worse, Jewish identity and Israel are inextricably linked. How do young Americans relate to Zionism today? And what is the difference between criticism of Israel and anti-Zionism and antisemitism?

Join AJC Access, Young Leadership Division of the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta and The Zalik Foundation for cocktails, networking and an intimate conversation with Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch.
This event is free and open to all young leaders (ages 22- 40).
Registration includes admission to community event following cocktail hour.

In partnership with ACCESS Atlanta and Young Leadership Division of the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta.

Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch, Senior Rabbi of Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in New York City, is known for his passionate voice, compassionate leadership, and sharp intellect.
