Davening, Dinner, and Discussion: Modern Anti-Semitism 

Services start at 5pm and dinner (Italian!) starts at 6pm. After dinner (~6:30/6:45pm), we will be discussing contemporary manifestations of anti-Semitism. In light of what we as a Hillel Board feel has been a recent resurgence and acceptance of anti-Semitic behavior in America. The current administration’s failure to acknowledge, failure to condemn, and failure to be historically accurate regarding Jewish issues is an extreme concern. Everyone is welcome to one or both. We look forward to seeing you at the Hillel House.

5-7pm, Hillel House  

Saturday, April 22

On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day 2017, the Williams Center presents Abby Mann’s complex and absorbing chronicle, Judgment at Nuremberg. Set against the looming Cold War, shifting political alliances, and the shocking memories of the Holocaust, Judgment prevails as one of the great courtroom dramas of all time. The penetrating themes explored—the compromise of human rights, the role of politics in foreign policy, the loss of compassion in the rule of law—resonate even today. Renowned for their international broadcast series, L.A. Theatre Works takes live radio-theater–style performance on the road in this fully-staged production.

Tickets are free for Lafayette students, $5 for faculty/staff,  and $29 for the public.

8pm, Williams Center for the Arts
