5:30 pm: Cocktail Reception
6:00 pm: Main Program
We’re privileged to present a special discussion and screening of the timely and thought-provoking documentary Tragic Awakening: A New Look at the Oldest Hatred.
Executive producer Raphael Shore, in conversation with author and podcast host Zibby Owens, will discuss the deep roots of antisemitism and its influence on Jewish history, especially in this post October 7 climate. Then we’ll view the film, which serves as an important reminder of why the existence of Israel as a sovereign Jewish state is essential to our survival.
You’ll also discover UJA’s work meeting the moment: fighting antisemitism, securing our Jewish institutions, helping Israel move forward, and uplifting struggling New Yorkers.
Each attendee will receive a copy of Raphael Shore’s book, Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Jew: Learning to Love the Lessons of Jew-Hatred.
