The first is the biennial Summer Institute on Teaching About Antisemitism \u2013 led by <strong>Kalman Weiser<\/strong>, associate professor of history and humanities, in conjunction with colleagues at the University of Toronto and Tel Aviv University. The program brings graduate students and faculty members from around the world to York to discuss pedagogies in teaching about antisemitism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second program is the Mark and Gail Appel Program in Holocaust and Antiracism Education, a study-abroad, experiential education and cultural exchange course to be held in Germany, Poland and Canada, taught by <strong>Sara<\/strong> <strong>Horowitz<\/strong>, professor in the Departments of Humanities and Languages, Literatures &amp; Linguistics. The Mark and Gail Appel Program is a re-launched version of the Teach For The Future program which the couple funded several years ago at the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYork has a very diverse student population and some of our students come from places where oppression and discrimination are very real and dangerous forces. Those students understand that the Holocaust is something important to learn about more deeply. Students who have participated in this program in the past have told us, \u2018This program was life changing,\u2019\u201d said Horowitz.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/03\/CJS-Appel-donation-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Group photo featuring (from left to right): David Koffman, Maggie Quirt, Allan Weinbaum, Mark Appel, Gail Appel, Kalman Weiser and Sara Horowitz \" class=\"wp-image-331937\" style=\"width:774px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/03\/CJS-Appel-donation-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/03\/CJS-Appel-donation-scaled-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/03\/CJS-Appel-donation-scaled-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/03\/CJS-Appel-donation-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/03\/CJS-Appel-donation-scaled-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From left to right: David Koffman, Maggie Quirt, Allan Weinbaum, Mark Appel, Gail Appel, Kalman Weiser and Sara Horowitz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The positive impact of this new funding will be seen in new approaches and methods to be developed and refined on the teaching of antisemitism, and in the transformed perspectives of students who participate in the study-abroad course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>David Koffman<\/strong><\/a>, associate professor of history and acting director at CJS, said \u201cPrograms like these demonstrate that leaders like Mark and Gail\u2026 understand what our centre stands for: excellence in scholarship, inspired teaching, and the true importance of scholarly effort and insight out there in the world, helping shape minds and hearts, institutions, and policies for the common good. Gifts like these help make York the thoughtful and welcoming place for all it can be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Appels recently met with representatives from CJS and the LA&amp;PS dean\u2019s office to celebrate this important donation. At that meeting, a video by York alumna <strong>Anna Veprinska<\/strong> \u2013 now an assistant professor of literature at Cape Breton University \u2013 who participated in the earlier iteration of the Mark and Gail Appel Program in Holocaust and Antiracism Education, was presented. \u201cThis program changed the trajectory of my life,\u201d Veprinska said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe program teaches about antiracism, with antisemitism as an avatar of racist ways of thinking,\u201d Mark explained. \u201cOur societies seem to be in a re-run. Attitudes we had hoped were behind us in the 1960s and 1970s are showing up again. There have been recent setbacks. Too many people are trapped by uninformed opinions. Gail and I looked at each other, thought of our previous involvement with York, and said, \u2018We need to do something again.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople can acquire racist attitudes in childhood or as they grow older,\u201d added Gail. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen the transforming power of these programs in the past. We have seen people learn to set those attitudes aside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mark-and-Gail-Appel-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Mark and Gail Appel with Maggie Quirt, Associate Dean Programs, LA&amp;PS and David Koffman, Director, Koschitzky Centre for Jewish Studies \" class=\"wp-image-331938\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mark and Gail Appel with Maggie Quirt, associate dean, programs, LA&amp;PS and David Koffman, director, CJS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are so grateful to Gail and Mark for this delightful contribution,\u201d said <strong>J.J.
