EMU Center for Jewish Studies Presents A
Conversation with Rep. Elissa Slotkin

The Eastern Michigan
University Center for
Jewish Studies will
host Rep. Elissa Slotkin
of Michigan’s 8th
Congressional District,
on its campus, Thursday,
Oct. 14, 7:30 p.m. in the
EMU Student Center
Auditorium and on Zoom
at tinyurl.com/RepSlotkin.
Slotkin will discuss, among
other things, growing up Jewish
on a farm in Holly, working as
a CIA analyst who did three
tours in Iraq alongside the U.S.
military and serving in the U.S.
House. 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 21st century (both
in the U.S. and abroad),
America’s involvement in
the Middle East and the
importance of Israel to U.S.
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.
You can also watch the con-
versation in real-time, online, but
