Mid-Week Episode: Antisemitism, Nativism, and Immigration - Eli Lederhendler
from Judaism Unbound · host Institute for the Next Jewish Future
After 11 were murdered at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Judaism Unbound pre-emptively releases a conversation that initially wasn't going to be available for a few weeks. Eli Lederhendler, the Stephen S. Wise Chair in American Jewish History at Hebrew University, joins Dan and Lex for a conversation about antisemitism, nativism, and immigration in the early 20th century. It's a conversation centered in the past, but it couldn't be more relevant to our contemporary context. This episode highlights over 130 years of life-saving work by HIAS: the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, dating all the way back to 1881. We encourage you to learn more about them at Hias.org, and support them with whatever financial contribution you can allocate at Hias.org/donate.
