This wasn\u2019t the case in the 1920s, necessarily, and so it\u2019s important to have that kind of historical analysis. The research of this book really helped me understand why, almost instantly, there was a change in the Jewish population, including the emergence of new groups,\u201d said Dr. Atalia.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16430 size-medium alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2025\/09\/IMG_2171-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2025\/09\/IMG_2171-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2025\/09\/IMG_2171-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2025\/09\/IMG_2171-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2025\/09\/IMG_2171-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2025\/09\/IMG_2171-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Omer&#8217;s research examines the work of Jewish American social movement organizers, whose actions are grounded in the premise that &#8220;my safety is tied to your safety (or, inversely, that my safety and wellbeing cannot be predicated on enacting conditions of insecurity and harm for you).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that recognizing what Dr. King called our &#8216;inescapable network of mutuality&#8217; is vital for the hard work of transforming cycles of violence and &#8216;acting for peace&#8217; &#8211; the theme of this year&#8217;s International Day of Peace,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/our-faculty\/angela-lederach.aspx\">Dr. Angela Lederach <\/a>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/peace-studies\/index.aspx\">Peace and Justice Studies<\/a>). \u201cAs Dr. Omer outlined from the interviews and participant-observation she conducted with Jewish American activists engaged in advocating for Palestinian rights, this is not easy, it can be very painful, and there are processes of unlearning, listening, and self-transformation that are part of the work for peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her talk, Dr. Omer shared how the activists she studies stay committed to the tough, ongoing, and often emotionally challenging work of standing with Palestinians \u2014 not in spite of their faith and personal values, but because of them. Their religious beliefs, strong sense of identity, and deeply rooted traditions are what fuel their solidarity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought she offered a really beautiful reflection on the rich, plural, and dynamic ways that grounding deeply in one&#8217;s sense of identity and religious practice can provide the foundation for acting for peace,\u201d said Dr. Lederach. \u201cIn other words, recognizing that my safety is bound up with your safety, can still emerge through embracing differences. I think that is really important as we reflect on the practices needed to build more resilient futures for all people and for our planet,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/our-faculty\/lisa-leitz.aspx\">Dr. Lisa Leitz<\/a> (Peace and Justice Studies) said, \u201cDr. Omer challenges the zero-sum thinking of many related to war and justice issues.
