The Cure For Hate
2026-03-08 15:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Marc B. Terrill Hall, 5700 Park Heights Ave., Baltimore, Maryland, 21215
The Cure For Hate

Join the Baltimore Jewish Council for a screening of the 55-minute film The Cure For Hate, followed by a conversation with Tony McAleer and the film’s director, Peter Hutchison.

Tony McAleer has spent over a decade helping others to understand the dynamics of hate. He should know: in the 1980s, he was deeply involved in the neo-Nazi White Aryan Resistance, anti-immigrant activism, Holocaust denial and street violence. In the 1990s, he attracted increasing notoriety through a series of publicity stunts and by running a white supremacist phone line.

His pathway back was a long, lonely and difficult one – an experience that led to him and a small group of other formers to create the organization Life After Hate in order to help others exit hate groups with more support and greater success.

This powerful film follows former Tony McAleer on his journey of t’shuvah and atonement at Auschwitz/Birkenau. It serves as a compelling and timely tool for educating audiences on the dangers of unchecked hate, the roots of extremist ideology, and how compassion can replace fear — lessons that feel especially urgent today.

The film and conversation are currently scheduled for the new Marc Terrill Auditorium in The Associated headquarters building on the Goldsmith campus in Park Heights, 5700 Park Heights Avenue. If unexpected construction delays force us to move to an alternate location, we will notify all program registrants.

Antisemitism, Anti-Zionism, Jewish Safety and the Jewish Future: Crisis and Opportunity for American Jews
2026-03-25 19:00 - 21:00 | Third Space at Shaarai Tfiloh, 2001 Liberty Heights Ave, Baltimore, MD, 21217
Antisemitism, Anti-Zionism, Jewish Safety and the Jewish Future: Crisis and Opportunity for American Jews

While the tragedies of October 7 and its aftermath, as well as the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S., and most recently, the New York City mayoral election revealed deep schisms in the American Jewish community, these divisions are not new. Painful fissures have been forming for years over Israel, Zionism, and antisemitism in our communities and our institutions, and our synagogues and our homes.

At a flashpoint for both American Jews and our American democracy, during this session we will explore their impact on the safety of American Jews; the threats and possibilities for our Jewish American future; and what’s at risk for all Americans.

Ginna Green is Founder and Principal at Horizon Philanthropy: Jewish Funders for a Just Future, an initiative designed to strengthen the American Jewish commitment to an inclusive, multiracial U.S. democracy. She is also Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at Uprise, where she leads the practice on philanthropic advising within the Jewish community, and is a principal strategist for its progressive movement and Jewish social justice sector clients. Previously, she worked as Chief Strategy Officer at Bend the Arc, Democracy Program Director at ReThink Media, and Communications Manager at the Center for Responsible Lending.

An alum of the Wexner Heritage Program, Jeremiah Fellowship, Selah Leadership Program, and Schusterman Fellowship, Ginna also sits on the boards of Bend the Arc, Jewish Story Partners, and Women’s March, and the Leadership Team of the Jewish Social Justice Roundtable. She is the mother of four amazing kids from graduate school to fifth grade, a native southerner, a better-than-decent cook, and a big fan of good bourbon.

Inseparable and Not the Same: Judaism, Zionism, and the Modern Jewish Condition
2026-05-06 19:00 - 21:00 | Third Space at Shaarai Tfiloh, 2001 Liberty Heights Ave, Baltimore, MD, 21217
Inseparable and Not the Same: Judaism, Zionism, and the Modern Jewish Condition

In today’s polarized landscape, Judaism and Zionism are often treated as either identical or entirely opposed. This class explores what is lost in both extremes, when allegiance to Israel becomes the measure of Jewishness and when rejection of Zionism erases a core strand of Judaism. We will grapple with the reality that anti-Zionism often expresses deep antisemitic sentiments, even as it also has a long and complex history within Jewish thought and debate. Together we will ask how a more nuanced engagement with Zionism might deepen, rather than divide, contemporary Jewish life.

Rabbi Dr. Joshua Ladon is the Vice President, West Coast and Senior Faculty at the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America, where he guides the program and development strategy on the West Coast. An award-winning educator, Joshua was previously the Director of Education for the Institute in North America, guiding the content and curriculum of national and regional programs. Prior to Hartman he served as the Dean of Student and Jewish Life at the Jewish Community High School of the Bay.
