This week on The Narrative, Rabbi Yaakov Menken, the founder and managing director of Coalition for Jewish Values, joins CCV President Aaron Baer and Communications Director Mike Andrews to discuss the roots and rise of anti-semitism, especially in light of the recent and ongoing college campus protests across the nation.

Before the conversation, the men also break down where we're at with HB68, the lawsuit currently blocking its enactment, and how the Ohio Supreme Court could intervene.
