In this roundtable discussion hosted by the Moment Institute, Fellows Tom Gjelten, Dr. Sharon S. Nazarian, Ira N. Forman, and Eric K. Ward explore the troubling intersections between antisemitism and democratic decline. They address how divisive forces like the newly energizing Christian nationalist movement and the erosion of the Black-Jewish coalition amplify conflicts along racial and religious lines. The discussion does not only focus on the problems but also presents potential solutions to restore solidarity, protect Jewish communities, and uphold religious freedom. This dialogue is moderated by Nadine Epstein, the founder of the Moment Institute, and leverages the insights of distinguished fellows to propose pathways for a safer and more inclusive society.
