An Open Letter to American Jews (and an explanation for Christians)

/ AAJC Happenings / By

Many of you feel understandably dazed and confused. People that you’d always thought of as friends or colleagues seem astonishingly complacent about the mass murder of Jews. Institutions like academia, media, and minority advocacy groups, that you’d always trusted as embodying the very best of enlightenment liberal outlook proudly side with those who raped, tortured, …

The Alibi for Tyranny—”This Is For The People”

/ Thought Tools / By

During Chanukah 2007, just before Christmas of that year, I published an article called A Rabbi’s Warning To American Christians.

Anti-Semitism That Worries Me

/ AAJC Happenings / By

Over the last months, there has been a spike in Anti-Semitic activity.
