IfNotNow DC and Temple Sinai are hosting journalist Peter Beinart and civil rights attorney Diala Shamas for a conversation about the controversial IHRA working definition of antisemitism and its impact on the fight against antisemitism and white nationalism in the post Trump era.

Questions covered may include:
What is the IHRA Definition, how did it come about?
Why define antisemitism?
Who does this definition work for and who does it leave out?
How has it been used and what have its impacts actually been?
What do we need to really fight antisemitism and white nationalism in the Post-Trump era?
