It argues that current legal definitions impose a narro w\,\nZionist-centric view of Jewish identity\, harming both Palestinian\na dvocacy and Jewish pluralism. Jewish identity is inherently diverse\nand c ontested\, with this ongoing debate viewed as a vital feature of\nJewish t radition.\n\nThe article traces the evolution of antisemitism's legal defi nition\,\nfocusing on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IH RA)\nworking definition. To counter the harms of this definition\,\nthe a rticle proposes a novel legal framework\, arguing that\ncriticizing Israel can be an exercise of religious freedom for many\nAmerican Jews and that antidiscrimination laws should protect Jews\ntargeted for their political positions.\n\nReinterpreting U.S. constitutional protections to safeguard the\nplurality of Jewish identities offers a new understanding of religiou s\nliberty that allows Jewish communities—and potentially\nother groups —to determine how religion and politics intertwine in\ntheir identities.   \n\nABOUT THE SEMINAR SERIES:\n\nThe Joint Legal Studies Seminar Series features biannual seminars\nshowcasing a range of legal studies scholarsh ip.  The series is\nhosted by the Departments of Sociology and Legal Stud ies at the\nUniversity of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ and St. Jerome's University.  \n DTSTAMP:20250707T075938Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
