The discussion will feature a panel of influential figures, including Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch of the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, business leaders Michael Kassan and Richard Edelman, and CNN anchor Bianna Golodryga. Participants will examine how media storytelling can challenge stereotypes and combat antisemitism by offering a more nuanced view of Jewish culture and contributions in the public sphere.

This event marks the first of four upcoming programs supported by Kassan and Edelman, designed to convene experts from journalism, faith, and culture. The initiative builds on the Paley Center’s long-standing series, Media's Role in Combating Antisemitism, launched in 2020. Tickets for the general public become available on July 11, with priority access currently open to museum members as the institution celebrates its 50th anniversary.
