Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Jew? explores the insidious nature and evolution of antisemitism, tracing its origins from ancient times to its present-day manifestations in Nazism, radical Islam, and the anti-Zionism of political progressives.
However, while the impeccably researched historical narrative provides a basis for understanding, this book is not only about antisemitism. Instead, Shore’s seminal work explains how Jew-hatred is, in fact, rooted in the very essence of what makes the Jewish faith and its people so beautiful.
It is a rallying call for Jews of all walks to embrace that beauty, their rich tradition of battling injustice, persevering in the face of adversity, and always choosing life and light over darkness.
