Right now, we’re seeing a wave of antisemitism across the U.S. Many Jewish Synagogues have been hit by city governments looking to punish these congregations just for trying to live out their faith.

On this episode, host Christ Freund is joined by Jeremy Dys, Senior Counsel, and Ryan Gardner, Counsel, to discuss these cases and how First Liberty is protecting our Jewish communities.

The Case for Liberty is a podcast from First Liberty Institute. It offers a deep dive into the most important religious freedom cases of our day with some of the nation’s top religious freedom attorneys.

First Liberty’s Chris Freund hosts and guides the conversations while the attorneys delve into the details of our strategies and goals for each case. With rotating guests, The Case for Liberty is for those seeking an in-depth look at religious freedom in the law.
