Judge David&nbsp;Stras&nbsp;joins us for a special address, reflecting on how his grandparents’ harrowing experiences during the Holocaust&nbsp;shaped his own beliefs and influenced his views on religious freedom, free speech, and the importance of the First Amendment.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Following his address, we will be joined by two commentators to discuss these issues as well as the recent rise in antisemitism in this country.
