Abigail Pogrebin will join author Sarah Hurwitz and an all-star cast of American Jewish commentators, including Dan Senor and Dara Horn, to discuss how millennia-old myths about Jewish power and depravity have pushed Jews to recoil from our own birthright. Hurwitz's new book, As a Jew, documents her process of stripping away layers of antisemitic lies and learning to live as a Jew without apology. The Temple Emanu-El Streicker Cultural Center in Manhattan. 6:30 p.m. Event link.
