SUMMARY:An All-of-Society Approach
DESCRIPTION:This is a conversation with Yair Rosenberg and Amy Spitalnick on uprooting antisemitism. Antisemitism fuels hate-filled conspiracy theories that not only drive people to commit horrible acts of violence but also undermine the very fabric of our nation. What we are seeing is a rise in violence against Jews that crosses political ideology and spectrums\, and the normalization of rising antisemitism sets a dangerous precedent.  The story of Pittsburgh and what happened in the aftermath of the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history offers our nation a way forward. Join Yair Rosenberg of The Atlantic for a conversation with Amy Spitalnick\, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs\, moderated by Carole Zawatsky\, CEO of The Tree of Life\, for a nuanced and engaging discussion.

DESCRIPTION:Mike LeDonne\, who grew up playing the Hammond B3 in his parents’ Connecticut music store\, is the first performer to marry a gospel choir with a jazz organ inside St. Paul’s Chapel.

SUMMARY:The Outlaws Who Built NYC Tour
DESCRIPTION:Forget the gangland clichés. This walking tour uncovers the radical\, corrupt\, and wildly enterprising figures who shaped New York City\, from pirate captains and Wall Street bombers to bank fraudsters\, rogue publishers\, and NYPD whistleblowers. It’s a crash course in how NYC was built not just by power and politics\, but by those who bent the rules\, challenged authority\, and sometimes blew things up. \nThis tour isn’t about mob bosses and speakeasies. It’s about the deeper\, dirtier truths behind the institutions that still define New York City today.
