The head of the ADL (Anti-Defemation League), Abraham Foxman comes to Philadelphia to talk about his new book Jews and Money: The Story of a Stereotype. The idea that Jews have a special-and unsavory-relationship with money is a long-standing myth of anti-Semitism. In the wake of the recent economic devastation on Wall Street and the revelation of Bernie Madoff's ruinous investment schemes, this line of thinking has insinuated itself once again into the public discussion. Abraham Foxman confronts the history and politics behind the stereotype in an effort to dispel this most dangerous falsehood about the Jewish people. Don't miss this area exclusive with one of the Jewish community's most prominent leaders.
