Event description: 

The Benjamin (Yale 1962) and Barbara Zucker Lecture Series
College campuses celebrate free speech but are also home to diverse residential populations. Difficult discussions about Israel, like other topics, can often devolve into charges and counter-charges about antisemitism. Dr. Jeffrey Herbst, president of American Jewish University and former president of the Newseum, will discuss how to have sharp debates about Israel while maintaining norms of respect and civility.
