Mid-Week Episode: Antisemitism, Nativism, and Immigration - Eli Lederhendler

After 11 were murdered at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Judaism Unbound pre-emptively releases a conversation that initially wasn't going to be available for a few weeks. Eli Lederhendler , the Stephen S. Wise Chair in American Jewish History at Hebrew University, joins Dan and Lex for a conversation about antisemitism, nativism, and immigration in the early 20th century. It's a conversation centered in the past, but it couldn't be more relevant to our contemporary context. This episode highlights over 130 years of life-saving work by HIAS: the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society , dating all the way back to 1881. We encourage you to learn more about them at Hias.org , and support them with whatever financial contribution you can allocate at Hias.org/donate .
