Tenacity Amid Adversity: Judaism and Antisemitism from Ancient Times To Today

From antiquity to modern times, hatred of Jews has existed. Across time and space, Jews have been subject to discrimination, persecution, massacres, and expulsion; yet, they have survived the world’s oldest hatred by being extremely resilient throughout the ages despite these challenges to their faith, identity, and national existence. This keynote will help attendees realize that, even in the aftermath of the October 7th attacks, the Jewish story remains vibrant, tenacious, and a core part of human society in the 21st century.

Diversity Through Unity:
Religious Freedom and the Story of America

In 1791, the Bill of Rights became the first Ten Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Questions abounded as to the place of religious minorities in the new country. The Founders’ commitment to equality for all faiths was remarkably open-minded, and still impresses the world today. This session will show just how extraordinary America’s commitment to religious freedom was, especially for Jews who had been persecuted for centuries in Europe. Over 230 years later, this achievement is something we can truly celebrate.

Walking in the Garden of the Righteous: Amazing Stories of Gentiles Who Saved Jews During the Holocaust

When people are asked about the Holocaust, they often know that 6 million Jews were killed by Nazi Germany. While that number is important to know, showing the damage that intolerance can inflict on a society, we need to remember as well that gentiles of every background resisted Nazi tyranny, persecution, and saved Jews, ranging from one person to tens of thousands. By learning stories of these “Righteous Among the Nations,” we remember their names, are reminded that one person can make a difference, and are ultimately inspired to follow in their footsteps and stand up against hate.

“Dr. Isaac Amon recently gave an absolutely amazing presentation surrounding The Jews in Early America. To say that this presentation was very informative is putting it lightly. His knowledge of the history of the Jewish people is awe inspiring. The attendees to our event gave rave reviews of this presentation, as well as his presenting style. We are very excited to have him return soon!”
