“Living Jewish” as Antisemitism Surges
Offering Judy Isaacson Elias for a segment on the new, more open face of antisemitism in America—and what it means for Jewish families right now.
Judy is an observant Jew, a mother and grandmother, and a seasoned community leader who is watching antisemitism move from the fringe into everyday life—on campuses, in K–12 schools, in neighborhoods, and across social media. She can speak bluntly to the quiet changes Jewish families are making: taking down mezuzahs and other visible Jewish symbols, telling their kids not to talk about being Jewish or pro‑Israel, and rethinking where they live, study, and worship.
