Understanding Antisemitism and the Jewish Experience is a program designed to help residents better understand what antisemitism is and the importance of addressing it for the well-being and betterment of our communities.

This important forum provides an opportunity to learn more about antisemitism and discuss ways to come together to fight hatred in the County.

The Human Rights Commission is proud to stand together with our Jewish neighbors and offer programs to the community that enhances understanding and promotes love and equity for all, said Inaudy Esposito, executive director of Orange Countys Human Rights Commission.

With the increase in modern antisemitism our hope is that this presentation will help improve understanding and make our community a better place to live, said Wendy Cedar, executive director of The Jewish Federation of Greater Orange County
