Description
Bari Weiss's urgent book exposes the alarming rise of anti-Semitism and explains what we can do to defeat it. In 2018, her childhood synagogue in Pittsburgh became the site of the deadliest attack on Jews in American history, shocking many but revealing a broader trend that has been sweeping Europe and the US for two decades. Anti-Semitism is no longer confined to the far right and left; it has found a home in identity politics, 'America first' isolationism, and one-world socialism. Social media and a culture of conspiracy have amplified this ancient hatred, threatening us all. Weiss makes a powerful case for renewing Jewish and liberal values to guide us through this uncertain moment. Weiss's book is an essential contribution to understanding the complex issues surrounding anti-Semitism today.
