SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Senator Chuck Schumer
DESCRIPTION:Sen. Schumer’s book tour events during the week of March 17 are being postponed for security reasons. We will work to reschedule this event at a later date. With questions about your ticket(s)\, please contact info@sixthandi.org.  \nWhen it comes to the history of the Jewish people\, there is a national and global crisis of misunderstanding. This lack of knowledge feeds ignorance\, hatred\, and violence. In Antisemitism in America: A Warning\, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer—the highest-elected Jewish official in American history—illuminates the Jewish American experience\, including the prejudices both hidden and overt that have led to the chronic persecution of the Jewish people\, and sounds the alarm about the troubling resurgence of antisemitism.    By placing antisemitism in its proper historical context\, and drawing from Senator Schumer’s own life\, the book delves into the causes of the recent swell of antisemitic rhetoric and violence in our country. In very personal terms\, he engages with debates over the purpose and meaning of Israel\, and helps draw a line between legitimate criticism of its government and when criticism of Israel as a Jewish homeland verges into antisemitism. This book is a warning\, informed by the lessons of history\, about what can happen when the “world’s oldest hatred” is allowed to rise\, unchecked.  \nSenator Schumer will be in conversation with Amy Spitalnick\, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs.
