Bari Weiss
The prescient former New York Times writer delivers an urgent wake-up call to all Americans exposing the alarming rise of anti-Semitism in this country - and explains what we can do to defeat it.
Winner of the National Jewish Book Award
"Stunning...Bari Weiss is heroic, fearless, brilliant and big-hearted. Most importantly, she is right." (Lisa Taddeo, number one New York Times best-selling author of Three Women)
On October 27, 2018, 11 Jews were gunned down as they prayed at their synagogue in Pittsburgh. It was the deadliest attack on Jews in American history.
For most Americans, the massacre at Tree of Life, the synagogue where Bari Weiss became a bat mitzvah, came as a total shock. But anti-Semitism is the oldest hatred, commonplace across the Middle East and on the rise for years in Europe. So that terrible morning in Pittsburgh raised a question Americans can no longer avoid: Could it happen here?
This audiobook is Weiss' answer.
Like many, Weiss long believed this country could escape the rising tide of anti-Semitism. With its promise of free speech and religion, its insistence that all people are created equal, its tolerance for difference, and its emphasis on shared ideals rather than bloodlines, America has been, even with all its flaws, a new Jerusalem for the Jewish people. But now the luckiest Jews in history are beginning to face a three-headed dragon known all too well to Jews of other times and places: the physical fear of violent assault, the moral fear of ideological vilification, and the political fear of resurgent fascism and populism.
No longer the exclusive province of the far right, the far left, and assorted religious bigots, anti-Semitism now finds a home in identity politics as well as the reaction against identity politics, in the renewal of America First isolationism and the rise of one-world socialism, and in the spread of Islamist ideas into unlikely places. A hatred that was, until recently, reliably taboo is migrating toward the mainstream, amplified by social media and a culture of conspiracy that threatens us all.
Weiss is one of our most provocative writers, and her cri de couer makes a powerful case for renewing Jewish and American values in this uncertain moment. Not just for the sake of America’s Jews, but for the sake of America.

Bark Weiss knocked this out of the park. But the book. But one for a friend. It’s worth every second you spend on it.
A must for Jews and non-Jews alike

I cannot now. Especially in light of the recent attacks and the very public escalation of antisemitism. This book helped through thoughtful, well researched accounts of why the current systems of qualifying racism fall short for Jews — and worse yet, (if left unchecked) increase the dangers of histories circling back to atrocities of the past.
Thank you.
A big reframe for me…
