FIGHTING ANTISEMITISM: CONVERSATION FROM THE FRONT LINE WITH SETH BRYSK OF ADL

How do we counter the recent surge in antisemitism—in hate speech, in print, in social media and in high school/college curriculum? This presentation will provide a tool kit that will help us respond to those who employ anti-Semitic stereotypes, are Israel-bashers and see Jews as “the Other.” This is an essential presentation especially for those in high school and university and/or who have children in those ages.

Seth Brysk is the ADL Central Pacific Regional Director serving Northern California, Utah, and Hawai’i. Previously, he was the AJC Regional Director in Los Angeles, JCRC Israel Center Director in Boston, and San Francisco Hillel Executive Director.

Brysk served in the Israel Defense Forces. He is a former cabinet member of the American Zionist Movement, provisional delegate to the US State Department Advisory Committee on Religious Freedom Abroad, and representative to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. In 2013, the Republic of Poland honored him as an Officer of the Order of Merit. He earned degrees from UC Berkeley in Political Science and from Tel Aviv University in International Relations.
