Rory starts with who Jews are, a people as well as a faith, and why that matters for spotting discrimination at work. Then he gets into how anti-Israel activism turns on Jewish colleagues: boycotts, petitions, posters, and staff meetings and chat channels that go after Israel. He walks through what federal and state law protect, the recent cases where hostility to Israel crossed into unlawful discrimination, and the line between protected speech and discriminatory conduct. He ends with what an employer can actually do about it.

He joins us live for a 45-minute talk, and then takes your questions.

It’s free for AIC members, and members’ questions go first. For everyone else it’s $18.

It runs on Zoom. On a computer you join in your browser or the Zoom app, no account needed. On a phone or tablet you need the free Zoom Workplace app.
