Discussion | Fighting Back: Jewish Responses to Antisemitism
In 1932, Germany’s leading Jewish civil rights organization, the Central Association of German Jews, or Centralverein, published a brochure entitled "We German Jews. 321–1932." The dates referred to the documented presence of Jews in the Roman provinces in the Rhineland for over 16 centuries to rebut the antisemitic view that Jews were an alien presence in Germany. The Centralverein represented the broad middle of German-Jewish society, and since the late-19th century, it had documented and fought antisemitism through various methods – in the courts, through political lobbying, and through publications like "We German Jews." Yet each of these defenses against antisemitism had its pitfalls. Court trials often gave antisemites a platform for spreading their propaganda and rarely resulted in significant punishments. Even friendly political parties failed to take strong action out of fear that being perceived as a “Jewish Party” would have negative electoral consequences. And the apologetics typified by the 1932 brochure convinced too few among the public. Historian Michael Brenner and journalist Jane Eisner talk about what lessons these Jewish responses to antisemitism offer for today’s world. Brenner holds the chair of Jewish History and Culture at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. Eisner is an accomplished journalist, educator, non-profit leader, consultant, and public speaker.

Staged Reading | The Foreplay: An Exploration of the Birth of Our Nation
When Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, and James Madison sit down to draft the first ten amendments to the Constitution, they have no idea what the hell are they are doing--no pressure, just the framework for laws that will shape our nation's future. Through sharp, witty dialogue, these founding fathers navigate the challenges developing of our Bill of Rights, discussing always volatile topics such as the right to free speech, the right to bear arms, and the right to no illegal searches and seizures (among many others) with a sense of justice and righteousness only colonial Americans could come up with.The only trouble is... America didn't remain Colonial America. This in depth look at the intense decision making process that went into making the first ten amendments shows that how no matter how far we THINK we've progressed, we still have no idea what the hell we're doing.
