Beyond the Headlines: Jewish Life in America Today
6:30 pm
The Paley Museum, 25 West 52 Street, NYC
Too often, Jewish identity is discussed primarily through the lens of crisis. This event reframes the conversation by spotlighting Jewish life, culture, creativity, and resilience in America today.
The program brings together leading voices from business, culture, faith, and journalism to explore the role of media and storytelling in shaping public understanding. Together, they will examine how Jewish life is represented, interpreted, and amplified across today's media and cultural landscape.
Through storytelling, creativity, and dialogue, the program offers audiences a fuller picture of Jewish identity—countering antisemitism not only through visibility and joy, but also through understanding, context, and narrative clarity.
This event is made possible by generous support from Michael Kassan and Richard Edelman.
Part of Paley's ongoing series, Media's Role in Combating Antisemitism.
