The purpose of this lesson is to learn about the origins and impact of antisemitism through the lens of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks z”l and to explore the tool of graffiti as a way to combat or communicate against antisemitism, bringing attention (and light) to important social issues.

Hate and Society's Ills Through Speech and Art is the first in a series of lessons created for the Shine a Light on Antisemitism Campaign of 2022.

Additoinal Shine a Light materials can be found here.
