Dismantling Antisemitism with Kohenet Shoshana Brown
Join Rabbi Andy Kahn and Kohenet Shoshana Brown for a powerful conversation about how accusations of antisemitism are increasingly weaponized to silence dissent, divide communities, and align Jewish identity with far-right agendas. We'll explore how to dismantle antisemitism through liberatory, non-punitive practices grounded in restorative justice, solidarity, and collective healing.
As part of our monthly interview series, Rabbi Andy Kahn sits down with Kohenet Shoshana Brown of Diaspora Alliance to unpack how accusations of antisemitism are being weaponized to silence dissent and reinforce far-right narratives. Together, they will explore what it means to confront antisemitism through solidarity, healing, and non-punitive, justice-centered practices.

Judaism in Times of Fascism: An Eight Week Course on Theory and Practice
This course will provide students with a unique venue for this inquiry. Students will be introduced to key concepts, theories, and methods that can help us make sense of loaded terms like "Judaism," "fascism," and "antifascism"; to historical readings and case studies that illuminate the lineages of Jewish antifascism -- including anarchist, Bundist, liberal, and Marxist varieties -- as well as the lesser known histories of Jewish fascism; and to recent texts and other media that address the crisis within contemporary Judaism. Finally, the course will feature ample opportunities for open discussion, and will conclude with a consideration of the possibilities for an emancipatory Judaism and a world without fascism.
