This week, I had the chance to join Jeremy Burton on JCRC’s Boston Now podcast to discuss the MA Special Commission on Combatting Antisemitism and the challenge of moving from collective concern to collective action. The Commission’s report was an important milestone, but lasting change requires leaders, institutions, and community members working together to put its recommendations into practice. Strong communities are shaped by what they build together and how they respond when tested.
