About this Episode
In ten sessions, Rabbi Rembaum explores the rise and evolution of antisemitism, defined simply as “hatred toward Jews” (IHRA — International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance). The learning is text based and emphasizes interactive discussion. There is some lecturing, primarily to provide historical background. The sessions are organized chronologically: 1. Greek and Roman sources through the lens of Josephus Flavius, 2. Christian and Muslim writings through the 16th century, and 3. the rise and evolution of secular antisemitism from the 19th through the 21st centuries.
