Understanding Anti-Semitism – A Michigan Ave Forum

Each year Fourth Church hosts a Michigan Avenue Forum as a way to promote civic formation with public discussions of current issues shaping the community’s ethical landscape.

This year the program, “Understanding Antisemitism,” will feature a panel discussion exploring the history of antisemitism, including the Christian church’s role in its promotion and perpetuation; the recent rise in violent episodes and hate crimes; and concrete strategies for non-Jewish houses of worship to dismantle antisemitism and pursue reconciliation and healing.

Presented in partnership with the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs and taking place Thursday evening, November 2, the forum will bring together a panel of Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, award-winning author; Becca Lubow, community organizer at Jewish Council on Urban Affairs; and the Reverend Nanette Sawyer, Associate Pastor at Fourth Church.

Thursday, November 2 at 6:30 p.m. in the Fourth Church Sanctuary (corner of North Michigan Avenue and Delaware Place) as well as livestreamed at www.bit.ly/fpcvideos
