As Philadelphia’s Jewish community enters the period known as The Days of Awe — Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement — there is news about a festival being held at UPenn that will feature speakers known for making anti-Israel and antisemitic statements.
Both the message and the timing are raising questions among Jewish students at UPenn and Jewish leaders across the state. Jason Holtzman, Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, joins DVJ News Editor Linda Stein to discuss this story, and to talk about the importance of the Days of Awe to members of the Jewish faith.
Hosted by Michael Graham of InsideSources.
