“How could it be that we are seeing a tsunami of Jew-hatred,” asked Amb. Carr in his closing keynote, repeating the question he's heard from members of the US Congress.  “Who could have believed that 80 years after humanity's greatest crime against the Jews that antisemitism would rise again,” and reiterated the official statement made by former US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo:  Anti-Zionism is antisemitism. So how, Carr asked, do we fight the “ancient, yet recurring indefatigable sickness known as Jew-hatred?” Carr offered six key solutions: “Double down on Jewish peoplehood, explain our right to our homeland. Combat antisemitism in all its forms - from neo-Nazis on the right to radical Marxists on the left and antisemitic activists who justify their actions in the name of the palestinian national movement as well. Bring balance back to college campuses and schools, and differentiate between protected speech and propaganda. Suffocate state sponsors of antisemitism, particularly Iran, and the jaw-dropping, shocking textbooks being used by the Palestinian Authority in schools. ‘Any country that is funding Iran or the PA is, in effect, collaborating with them in teaching children to hate Jews.”  Finally, he said, “play offense by proactively promoting a Philo-Semitic narrative that tells the Biblical story of the Jewish people.  “There is a Jewish story in just about every country. For example, just as America is covered with content and marketing campaigns educating Americans about Black History Month, there is no reason America shouldn't be covered with content for Jewish Heritage Month, designated by the US government to be the month of May,” Carr said.

So many people are asking for a recording of the historic conference we hosted last night in Jerusalem focused on unmasking Jew-hatred within the palestinian national movement. With deep thanks to the one above, we had a full house at the Begin Center in Jerusalem, and thousands of people viewing from all over the world, across our various platforms. Here is the recording to share with everyone you can. The more people you all share it with, the bigger an impact we can make!For those of you who had technical difficulties, or did not see the email with the conference link in time to join us live, I sincerely apologize. We tried our best to ensure that everyone who registered received the livestream link on time, but we apologize for any issues or confusion that prevented people from joining us live. I promise that we will try even harder to make the experience more seamless for our next conference. In the meantime, I please ask for forgiveness for whatever frustration you experienced.Now, many people take a deep breath after a conference ends, because all their hard work has paid off, and now they can relax. However, for us at the Pulse of Israel, things are different. For us, the conference was just the catalyst to begin the real work. Starting Now. And we need your help.The conference was just about creating the buzz to change the conversation, in order for Jews and non-Jews to wake up and realize that this issue must be shouted from the rooftops, because we have all been orphaned by our leaders. Now, the real work begins to change the conversation on a daily basis so that Jews worldwide will be more empowered to face the growing Jew-hatred in the name of "palestine", and therefore better protected.Now that we have some people's attention, we have to push out these messages in an even  bigger way to get even more people's attention. Ultimately, we won't change the actions of our leaders until they hear the cry from us, the public. And for that to happen, we need the support of everyone who understands how important this issue is, to protect us all.I just want to add a few of the many comments of feedback we have begun to receive from people about the conference.Avi thanks again for a fantastic conference! You are truly an inspiration, not only for realizing the importance of the issues we face, but also for being brave enough to lead the way to talk, inform and educate anyone willing to listen about the real challenges. Moreover, you took the time to create a unique event, bring everyone together and actually make it happen!! A HUGE amount of work. The speakers - including yourself - were outstanding and inserted depth, insight and actionable strategies into the conversation. Kol Hakavod!!!Oshy E.

As acts of anti-Semitism increase in America, The MirYam Institute convened a special briefing in Massachusetts to discuss “the dangerous rise of Jew-Hatred in the United States and what can be done about it.”Amb. Elan Carr shared experiences from his time serving as the official envoy to monitor and to combat this dangerous bigotry, while emphasizing his belief that the strongest response to anti-Semitism is philo-Semitism - acts undertaken by members of the Jewish and non-Jewish community alike - that demonstrate pride in, and support for, the American Jewish story - past, present and future.Follow the work of the MirYam Institute via any and all of the links below. Subscribe to The MirYam Institute Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Follow Benjamin Anthony Twitter: https://bit.ly/3hZeOe9Like Benjamin Anthony Facebook: https://bit.ly/333Ct93Like The MirYam Institute Facebook: https://bit.ly/2SarHI3Follow The MirYam Institute Twitter: https://bit.ly/3jkeUyxThe MirYam Institute.

As an Iraqi war veteran and JAG Corps officer in the US Army Reserve, Elan Carr saw the country from which his family was exiled (after over 2 millennia) from a very different perspective than a helpless Jew. Uniquely suited to leadership, Carr was the White House Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism until last month’s change of administration. He discusses with Eve Harow the scourge of Jew-hatred in its many forms and how he’s continuing to be involved in fighting mankind’s oldest plague. From campuses to everyday settings and especially on the internet, this evil is morphing its language and tactics with frightening alacrity. To be in touch and join the fray please contact Rachel Moore (rachel@mooreconnected.com).

Elan Carr currently serves as US Special Envoy to Monitor & Combat Anti-Semitism. He was appointed by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in February 2019. Elan shares his views on how the Abraham Accords can be an exemplar of combatting anti-semitism and the impact of normalization in educating Arab children about Israel and the history of the Jews through curricula development and enhanced cultural ties. He also shares important insights on the scourge of anti-semitism on US university campuses that feed into the culture wars and topically, why the First Amendment rights are important even when faced with vile anti-semitic rhetoric online.

Modern Anti-Semitism often manifests itself as hostility against Israel—particularly on college campuses, at the United Nations, and even in U.S. Congress. Despite claiming to lack hostility toward the global Jewish people, today’s “anti-Zionists” single out the world’s only Jewish state for specific and demonizing criticism. Casting Israel as a villain on the world stage, this rhetoric makes ample use of historic anti-Semitic tropes such as greed, global conspiracy, and media puppetmastery.Elan Carr, the State Department’s Special Envoy to Monitor anti-Semitism, has successfully pursued recognition that this language is indeed anti-Semitism. By promoting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism, which includes anti-Israel rhetoric, Carr has moved this definition solidly into public discourse.Join us for an important conversation about modern anti-Semitism, anti-Israel rhetoric, and the role of the IHRA in combatting both.

Our Soldiers Speak and the Henry Jackson Society jointly presented Special Envoy Elan Carr to Parliament in his role as the United States' leading diplomat in the fight against antisemitism. The address was hosted by Henley MP John Howell and I was given the honour of presenting Elan on behalf of Our Soldiers Speak and quite a platform to explain what the organization is about. In this tough yet uplifting speech, Elan clearly defines the three disparate sources of antisemitism, describing its 21st Century manifestation and how if not confronted, tyranny follows for everyone, not just Jews.

In 2018, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism Act. As anti-Semitism continues to surge around the globe, this legislation sent a clear message that the United States will not tolerate hatred and bigotry. In February 2019, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo appointed Elan Carr to fill the post of the special envoy. Prior to this point, the position had not been filled by the White House. Elan Carr appears on this episode as a guest to discuss his vital work as special envoy—his top priorities, his day-to-day work and the role of other countries in addressing anti-Semitism globally. Prior to his appointment as Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism, Carr served in the United States military and in the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office as a deputy district attorney.

The US State Department has played a critical role in combating global Antisemitism through its office of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism. Elan Carr, newly appointed to the post, has already made a significant impact in the fight against the world’s oldest hatred. How does the US currently see the problem of global Antisemitism? What are we doing to address it?Elan S. Carr serves as the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism. As Special Envoy, he advises the Secretary of State and is responsible for directing U.S. policies and projects aimed at countering Antisemitism throughout the world.

US Special Envoy Elan Carr role in the Trump Administration is to monitor and combat global antisemitism. But the tragedies of the Pittsburgh and Poway synagogue attacks have ensured his focus has become more domestic. Mr Carr's message is unity; for the Jewish community to stand together to fight anti-Jewish hatred - and to bridge the gap in an increasingly polarized America to work on bi-partisan solutions. He is an Iraq war veteran, a former deputy US attorney in LA and a Republican in an historically Democratic district of the House of Representatives. Elan is of Iraqi Jewish heritage and served the US military in Baghdad, lighting Chanukah candles and leading Shabbat services in the palace of deposed President Saddam Hussein. We discuss issues of free speech, protected and unprotected speech plus where he sees the role of the IHRA definition of antisemitism in the future protections of Jewish people, and by extension safeguards to western society itself.

I am blessed to be around remarkable people. There are always Takeaways to learn. That is what I am sharing on this podcast. Takeaways – Life. Lessons. Learned. explores learning from the wisdom of others. This was a landmark episode for Takeaways! We recorded in front of a live audience, we recorded on video (currently in editing) and we had to get official approval from the U.S. State Department to sit down with our guest!! February 5, 2019 Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, appointed Elan S. Carr to be Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat anit-Semitism. This position was established in 2004 as part of the Office of Religion and Global Affairs at the United States Department of State. Rewind to the summer of 1999. I was a rising sophomore attending UNLV. My fraternity brothers put me forward to receive a full scholarship to attend the Alpha Epsilon Pi International Convention in Morristown, New Jersey. At one of the leadership breakout sessions was this guy with radiating enthusiasm. Whenever he saw someone he knew, he would let out this signature "dooooooooode" as the pitch in his voice raised, his arms would open wide in anticipation of a brotherly embrace. He would then say in perfect Hebrew, "brother how I missed you!" Elan was already a legend to droves of Alpha Epsilon Pi brothers around the world back then as a major volunteer. He joined AEPi as an undergraduate at U.C. Berkeley where he earned a degree in Philosophy and Political Science. Then he went to Northwestern University to get his law degree. Operation Desert Storm occurred when he was a first year law student. That compelled Elan to join the U.S. Army. It was that decision which lead him to serve in the Iraqi War after the events of 9/11. The stories Elan shares in this episode about his experiences in Iraq are almost unbelievable. Elan's day job for 13 years was as a criminal prosecutor in Los Angeles Country. He focused both as a gang prosecutor and in the Special Victims Unit prosecuting child molesters, rapists, and domestic abusers. In 2014 Elan ran for Congress and lost. It was that election, however, that put him on the radar of the National Republican Party to be considered almost 5 years later for this current role. Politics aside what else can you learn from a person like Special Envoy Carr? Here are just a few of the Takeaways that we discussed on this episode. • When you have an opportunity to express yourself and your faith you do it. • How you define a problem determines how you solve it. • What is the state of anti-Semitism in the world today? I hope you enjoy! Thank you for listening! Please subscribe to “Takeaways”, rate and review wherever you get your podcasts.

On February 5, 2019, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo appointed Elan Carr as the Trump Administration’s Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism. Created 15 years ago by President George W. Bush, the position of Special Envoy is charged with developing and implementing America’s policy to fight anti-Semitism at home and abroad. Carr—a veteran of the Iraq War, JAG officer in the U.S. Army Reserve, and former Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles County—comes to his position during a time of rising hatred against Jews within America and around the globe. In this podcast, Special Envoy Carr sits down with Tikvah Fund Senior Director Jonathan Silver to discuss his office’s efforts to fight Jew-hatred. He recalls the family history that drives his fight against anti-Semitism, explores the trends—positive and negative—he sees across the globe, and makes the case for why fighting anti-Semitism in all its forms—including anti-Zionism—is vital for the health of any society. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble as well as “Great Feeling” by Alex Kizenkov.
