Heritage Florida Jewish News - Central Florida's Independent Jewish Voice

On Tuesday, Dec. 5, the local chapter of the Zionist Organization of America will host guest speaker Susan B. Tuchman who will discuss "The campus war against Israel & Jews."

Tuchman is the director of the ZOA's Center for Law and Justice. Under her leadership, the ZOA pioneered the use of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to protect Jewish students from antisemitic harassment and intimidation. After a ZOA-led battle which included rallying other national Jewish organizations and bipartisan support from members of Congress, Jewish students now have the same legal protections under Title VI as other ethnic and racial groups. 

The Forward newspaper named Susan one of the "50 most influential members of the Jewish community" based on her legal work on behalf of Jewish students. 

This important meeting will be held at Congregation Ohev Shalom at 7:30 p.m. There is no cost to attend, however registration is required. To register visit https://www.ohevshalom.org/form/zoa-event
