Betrayal, Renewal & Rethinking Leadership after Oct 7 w/ Dr Charles Jacobs
Dr. Charles Jacobs discusses the ongoing issue of modern slavery, particularly in Africa, and reflects on his experiences in activism since the 1990s. He emphasizes the importance of Jewish identity in his work and the need for a unified Jewish response to antisemitism and modern challenges. The discussion also touches on the impact of woke ideology on education, the necessity of forming alliances with other communities, and the importance of building a strong national Jewish movement to combat these issues effectively.
