 The Eastern Michigan University Center for Jewish Studies is delighted to host Representative Elissa Slotkin of Michigan’s 8th Congressional District, on our campus, Thursday, October 14, 7:30 PM, in the EMU Student Center Auditorium. Representative Slotkin will discuss, among other things, growing up Jewish on a farm in Holly, Michigan; working as a CIA analyst who did three tours in Iraq alongside the US military; and serving in the US House. Representative Slotkin is a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security—where she chairs the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence—and the House Committee on Armed Services. She will consider such matters as the resurgence of antisemitism in the twenty-first century (both in the US and abroad), America’s involvement in the Middle East, and the importance of Israel to US foreign policy.

This presentation is the first, on-campus, Center for Jewish Studies event since the beginning of Covid. There will be social distancing, and all audience members will be required to wear masks. There is no cost to attend this program.

This presentation is co-sponsored by Hillel at Eastern Michigan University, The EMU College Democrats, and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation.
