Join us on September 19th at 7 pm EDT for a critical discussion with author and columnist Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson exploring the implications of Project 2025, a policy agenda coordinated by the Heritage Foundation that aims to reshape American governance under the banner of Christian Nationalism. This initiative poses profound challenges to the separation of church and state and could have far-reaching consequences for American Jews and other religious minorities. Register here.
The extreme Christian Nationalist agenda articulated in Project 2025 threatens to reshape America, potentially undermining religious freedom, civil rights, and the safety of Jewish communities. This is not just another policy discussion—it's a call to action. Is the American dream of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness meant to privilege one kind of American over all others, by race, gender, and religion?
Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson is a columnist for the Forward, a contributor to CNN, and a weekly commentator on religion and politics in his newsletter, Both/And. He has twice won the New York Society for Professional Journalists award for opinion writing, wrote the first long-form analysis of Christian Nationalists' redefinition of "religious liberty" in 2013, and was the first to report on Leonard Leo's impact on the Supreme Court, in 2018. Jay holds a JD from Yale Law School, a PhD in Jewish Thought, and nondenominational rabbinic ordination.
Register now to be part of this crucial conversation and learn how you can stand against Project 2025 and the rising tide of Christian Nationalism. Your voice matters, and together, we can defend true religious freedom!
