“Speak Out, Stand Up Against Antisemitism”
What are the basic elements of religious discrimination? “Disparate
treatment” refers to rules and policies being applied inconsistently and
intentionally in a discriminatory manner against someone of a protected
class including minorities and women. Although it is commonplace for
some protected classes to be readily believed as discriminated against
without proof, it is also routine for Jews to be questioned or disbelieved
about antisemitism against them. Why is antisemitism often discounted
or dismissed by authorities and the media? This class, presented by the Al
Katz Center, begins at noon via Zoom. Cost: $10 per day or $50 per month
for all classes. To RSVP and receive the Zoom link, please call Beverly
Newman at 941.313.9239.

“The History of the Jews of Florida”
With Marcia Jo Zerivitz
Despite not being officially allowed to live in Florida until 1763, Jewish
immigrants escaping expulsions and exclusions were among the earliest
settlers. They have been integral to every facet of Florida’s growth, from
tilling the land and developing early communities to boosting tourism
and ultimately pushing mankind into space. The Sunshine State’s Jews,
working for the common good, have been Olympians, Nobel Prize
winners, pioneers, educators, politicians, leaders in business and more.
The presentation begins at 10:00 a.m. via Zoom. Fill out the form on
templebethsholomfl.org for the password. No cost, but donations are
always appreciated. For more information, call the Temple Beth Sholom
office at 941.955.8121 or email info@templebethsholomfl.org.
