About this episode

Karen Schneier Dresbach discusses the importance of mutual acceptance over tolerance in combating antisemitism and building interfaith alliances.

Karen Schneier Dresbach, Executive Vice President of the Appeal of Conscience Foundation, joins Laurie Cardoza-Moore at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention. Her father, Rabbi Arthur Schneier — a Holocaust survivor — founded the organization 60 years ago. Karen is now carrying that work forward. They discuss the Stand Up Sunday initiative, which mobilized 1.5 million worshipers in a single day against antisemitism and hatred toward people of faith, the challenge of building genuine interfaith alliances, and why mutual acceptance — not tolerance — is the only standard worth building toward.
