Shedding Light on Antisemitism with Lauri Bader
Antisemitism is far from a new concept. Historically, there have been times when it was extremely bad and other times when it leveled out. Right now we are unfortunately in a really bad, really scary time. This week on We Can Be Real Lauri is back on the podcast to join me in talking about antisemitism.
Lauri Bader has been actively involved with the Jewish Federation of Nothern New Jersey for 20 years and served as President of its Women’s Philanthropy for 3 years. She is a member of AIPAC which promotes the relationship between the U.S. and Israel. Lauri has also been a member of Temple Emanual for 30 years
In this episode, Lauri and I discuss:
- Our upbringing and being naive to the hatred around the Jewish people.
- Finding the balance between being brave and standing up for what you believe in while keeping yourself out of harm's way.
- The antisemitism on college campuses and the impact it has on our future generations.
Times are scary and while we cannot sit back and do nothing, we don’t have to do any form of activism that we’re not comfortable with or feel unsafe doing.
