      Teaching Tents Against Anti-Semitism


      Jewish activists in Paris, Warsaw, and Kiev have put up tents in order to teach others about Jewish history, religion, and culture.  The activists hope to combat anti-Semitism by “opening European Jewish communities.”

      Activists expressed satisfaction with the levels of participation in events held at the tents, saying that the communities seemed very interested in hearing about Jewish life.  In Warsaw, police came to the tent to hear about an increase in anti-Semitic graffiti and vandalism in Poland.
