Book Description:
The astute writer from The New York Times warns of the worrisome increase of anti-Semitism in the United States and offers solutions to the problem.
“Incredible. Bari Weiss is brave, courageous, bright, and kind. What’s more, she is correct.” Author of the New York Times bestseller Three Women, Lisa Taddeo
Eleven Jews were murdered and killed while praying in a synagogue in Pittsburgh on October 27. For Jews in the United States, it was the worst massacre ever.
The tragedy at Tree of Life Synagogue, where Bari Weiss had her bat mitzvah, shocked most Americans. However, anti-Semitism is the oldest kind of hatred, widespread throughout the Middle East and on the rise in Europe for decades. So, after that horrific morning in Pittsburgh, people in the United States have to ask themselves, “Could it happen here?”
What follows is Weiss’s response, presented in this book.
For a long time, Weiss shared the hope of many that the United States would be immune to the rise of anti-Semitism. Unfortunately, even the luckiest Jews in history are starting to face a three-headed dragon that has haunted Jews before: the dread of violent attack, the fear of ideological libel, and the fear of rising fascism and populism.
Identity politics, the reaction against identity politics, the revival of America First isolationism, the rise of one-world socialism, and the spread of Islamist ideas into unlikely places are all breeding grounds for anti-Semitism, which was once the exclusive province of the far right, the far left, and assorted religious bigots. Anti-Semitism, a form of bigotry that has until recently been safely off-limits, is creeping into the mainstream, bolstered by the internet and a culture of conspiracy that endangers us all.
This passionate plea from one of our most daring authors is both a sobering warning that Jews must never lose their hard-won sense of danger and a forceful argument for reviving Jewish and American ideals in these uncertain times. For the benefit of America as a whole, not simply its Jewish population.
An Accolade for How to Counter Anti-Semitism
“Bari Weiss has accomplished with extraordinary concision what Heinrich Graetz couldn’t do in his six volumes of Jewish history. This vital work will spark a thousand debates.” To quote: —Cynthia Ozick
“The Pittsburgh synagogue where she spent her youth was one of the sites of last year’s deadly attack on Shabbat morning. This moving, detailed, and often profound book is her anguished, resolute elegy.” “The Guardian”
“A daring call to address the oldest enmity in human history.”
