National Review, in partnership with the Republican Jewish Coalition, hosted a symposium on antisemitism Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
The event brought together policymakers, scholars, journalists, and religious leaders to discuss the historical roots of antisemitism, the parallels we see in our own time, the vital contributions of Jewish Americans to our national story, and how conservatives can draw a bright moral boundary as they have in the past. Featured speakers included Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Tom Cotton, Senator Jim Banks, Leo Terrell, Rich Lowry, Philip Klein, Caroline Downey, Matthew Continetti, Rabbi Meir Y. Soloveichik, Ilya Shapiro, and more.
