Reply To: Have you been exposed to harmful antisemitic tropes about Jewish control over finances or foreign policy? After participating in this course, how would you go about responding to these tropes if you encounter them?

As both of you note, I think that education is so important for combating antisemitism, as it is for all other kinds of harmful stereotypes and group-biases. Programs like this are really helpful for that, but I think it also starts in the home. Thankfully, I was blessed with parents and a family who was very careful to note that all people are created in God’s image, no matter who they are or where they are from or what they have done. We are all sinners in need of a Savior, and I think combatting any type of racist thought has to have that recognition at its core.
