Continuing to learn about BDS and anti-Israel trends

Part 3: A Crash Course in Talking
to Younger Generations about Israel
and Antisemitism
As Jewish professionals, parents,
grandparents and/or family members,
how can we best understand and re-
spond to the issues facing our younger
generations around antisemitism and
Israel on college campuses and in our
communities? We heard from three
current college students on campuses
in south Florida about their experi-

pend our beliefs built over many years
to listen, listen and listen to what young
people are saying.
