The community “Shine the Light on Antisemitism” Hanukkah Celebration hosted by the MJCCA and the Atlanta Israel Coalition is taking place at the JCC on Dec. 5 at 6:30 p.m.
Join us for a community-wide Hanukkah celebration as we shine a light on the recent rise in antisemitism and delegitimization of Israel. We will explore community and individual responses to antisemitism in all of its modern forms. This celebration will include a candle lighting, entertainment, sufganiyot, and guest speakers: Virág Gulyás, the NYC coordinator for End Jew Hatred, a grassroots civil rights movement dedicated to ensuring Jewish liberation from centuries of persecution and achieving justice for the Jewish people through peaceful direct action; and Gerard Filitti, a New York City-based human rights attorney. He serves as Senior Counsel at The Lawfare Project, a Jewish civil rights litigation fund and think tank that focuses on matters of civil and human rights, anti-Semitism, discrimination, and counterterrorism.
Registration and event details can be found here. Contact Rabbi Glusman or Cheryl Dorchinsky with any questions.
All are welcome! DOORS OPEN AT 6:30 PM
