About this episode

Dr. Saba Soomekh discusses Jewish vulnerability in companies and training programs on antisemitism.

Diversity officers have denied for a long time that manyJews feel vulnerable. This is starting to change now in some companies. Dr. Saba Soomekh works hard on it. She is the Director of Training and Education at the American Jewish Committee. She tells us about her training programs about antisemitism for companies. As she happens to be of Persian-Jewish descent, we also ask her some questions about the current developments in Iran.
