We, the undersigned, urge Temple Emanu-el's Stricker Centre to disinvite Elise Stefanik as a guest speaker on the 22 of April!

Stefanik is an embarrassment not only to the Jewish community, but the human race --  in the same league as Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner,  even Jeffrey Epstein, and no worthier a representative of the Jewish people. She is also no ally in the fight against anti-Semitism; rather, she weaponising this ages-old crusade for her own and the tRump administration's nefarious, self-serving purposes. Her actions during the 2023 hearings about anti-Semitism at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard University were not about "investigating" this bigotry, but attacking and taking down higher education and academic freedom!

She is also no ally of women or feminism, attacking the female Presidents of these universities and many other women and means of support for them -- rather, a real "queen bee" who will keep others down to make herself look better.

Do not give this hate-monger and liar a platform, especially one as a respected as Temple Emanu-el, which has long stood for community, intellectualism and learning, and the best that Judaism has to offer.
