Four Jewish Political Voices on the Anniversary of Jan. 6

Political instability and violence has been a recurring backdrop for pogroms and antisemitic persecution. On January 6, 2021, as thousands of Donald Trump's supporters stormed the United States Capitol building in an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, many American Jews felt these old fears stir. Other American Jews look back at the riot as a more isolated incident, perhaps offensive to democratic ideals but not necessarily reflective of Trump or his legacy. To mark the anniversary of the deadly event, Moment checked in with four participants from our Jewish Political Voices Project -- which followed voters in swing states in the months leading up to the 2020 election -- to ask for their reflections on this dramatic day.
