In a time when disinformation spreads faster than truth and hate too often finds a home, this evening calls us to conscience. Join us for A Place to Begin Again, a powerful interfaith conversation confronting the rising tide of antisemitism and the urgent need for moral clarity and civic courage in our time. Together, we will examine how bias and hate persist in plain sight — and the cost of silence that shields them. We’ll explore how faith communities can build resilient bridges of understanding and how each of us can reclaim moral clarity and chart a courageous path forward.
