Description for How to Fight Anti-Semitism
Review �Bari Weiss has written what must be judged a brave book. . . . Weiss has delivered�a praiseworthy and concise brief�against modern-day anti-Semitism.��The New York Times�Weiss�s book feels like�one long, soul-wrenching letter, written in a charmingly accessible style�by a proud American reeling from the realization that the haters are on the rise in this land we love.��Jewish Journal �Weiss�s refreshingly forthright opinions and remarkably thorough yet concise history lessons make this�a must-read for anyone seeking to understand and stop the rise of a pernicious ideology.��Publishers Weekly �An important read . . . Because a battle over normalizing anti-Semitism is already underway,�Weiss�s real public service is encouraging mainstream Americans to join the forces of light.��The Federalist �At the core of the text is the author�s concern for the health and safety of American citizens, and she encourages anyone �who loves freedom and seeks to protect it� to join with her in vigorous activism.��Kirkus Reviews�How to Fight Anti-Semitism�is�violently stunning.�It broke my heart�and then made me want to repair someone else�s.�In these pages and everywhere else, Bari Weiss is heroic, fearless, brilliant, and great-hearted. Most important, she is right.��Lisa Taddeo, bestselling author of�Three Women � �This is�the most important book you will read this year. Concise, morally certain, it�s a bullet train from the first sentence to the last. There needs to be a copy in every classroom in the country.�If you think something dark is rising, you�re right. What can you do? This is what you do.��Caitlin Flanagan, staff writer,�The Atlantic, and author of�To Hell with All That�How to Fight Anti-Semitism is urgent, frank, and fearless. There is something here to offend everyone�because there is something here to awaken everyone.��Rabbi David Wolpe, author of�David: The Divided Heart �While European anti-Semitism has put Jews in mortal danger for too long, the �shining city upon a hill��America�has descended into this same toxic darkness. Bari Weiss�s book is a powerful wake-up call against complacency and�should push all freethinkers on both sides of the Atlantic to take a stand against new guises of the oldest form of hate in the world. How to Fight Anti-Semitism? Yes. But�it could also be called How to Save Liberal Democracy.���Bernard-Henri L�vy, bestselling author of�The Empire and the Five Kings � �They said �Never again,� yet here we are again.�Bari Weiss�s neat exposition of modern anti-Semitism traces this hate to what I call �the triple threat�: the far left, the far right, and Islamist theocrats. Jews are the canary in the coal mine.�And if our Jewish friends are raising the alarm, we�d all better hear them, before it�s too late.��Maajid Nawaz, activist, writer, and broadcaster Read more About the Author Bari Weiss is a staff writer and editor for the opinion section of The New York Times.

All rights reserved. �There is a shooter at tree of life.�The first text came through our family chat at 10:22 a.m. It was from my baby sister, Suzy. I typed back immediately: �Is dad.� My mouth turned to cotton as I waited for a response to my incomplete question. My parents live a mile and a half from the Tree of Life synagogue. Three congregations meet in the building for Shabbat morning services; my dad is sometimes at one of them. �We�re home,� my mom wrote. �do t worry.� Casey, my second-youngest sister, had heard more: �Magazine high powered ak 47. Doug is on police radio,� she said of her husband, a local firefighter. Someone sent around a link to the Psalms��in you our ancestors trusted; they trusted and you saved�them��sacred poems Jews have always recited in times of distress. Several texts suggested that there were hostages, early and hopeful speculation. My mom wrote simply: �I�m sure we will know people there.� Minutes slouched by. I turned on CNN. Nothing yet. I refreshed and refreshed and refreshed Twitter every few seconds. There were posts from some local sources urging people to stay away from the area; warnings that the police had shut down that part of the neighborhood; speculation that the shooter might be on the loose. I thought about the Boston Marathon bombers�how one of the Tsarnaev brothers hid in a boat in someone�s backyard�and told my parents not to leave the house. Soon I started getting WhatsApp messages from close friends in Israel, where Shabbat was ending�a strange reversal from the years of the Second Intifada when I would write them: Are you safe? I checked the news again. Early reports of a shooting in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh. No name yet. No victim count. Refresh Twitter. At some point in those creeping minutes, between Suzy�s first text and the moment I booked a plane ticket back to my hometown to witness what the killer had done, my third-youngest sister, Molly, told us that she had heard something on the police scanner. �He�s screaming all these Jews need to die.� � � �� �I didn�t yet know that I would come to see that phrase as the one that marked the before and the after. That I would come to see that command�the one that had been uttered in a different tongue by Amalek, the villain who stalked the weakest of the ancient Israelites in the desert on their way to the Promised Land; the one that had been echoed by Amalek�s ilk down through the generations; and the one that was now being shouted in mine�as my alarm bell. Those words would wake me up to the fact that I had spent much of my life on a holiday from history. And history, in a hail of bullets, had made its unequivocal return. But this realization was to come. The morning of October 27, 2018, in a hotel room in Phoenix, I was pouring sweat and drinking lukewarm room-service coffee, replying to my editor at the Times to say yes, I would write a column immediately about what was going on. This was before I learned that the name of the shooter was Robert Bowers, before I read what he had written on the social media website Gab: �There is no #MAGA as long as there is a kike infestation.� It was before I knew he believed that the Jewish people were responsible for the sin of bringing Muslims to America: �Open you Eyes! It�s the filthy EVIL jews Bringing the Filthy EVIL Muslims into the Country!!� Bowers hated the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, a Jewish organization founded in the late 1800s to resettle Jews fleeing pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe. Today, it does the righteous work of rescuing Jews and non-Jews facing persecution all over the world. His final post before he entered the building was: �HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can�t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I�m going in.� Tree of Life had been one of 270 synagogues around the country that had hosted National Refugee Shabbat the previous Saturday. That morning during services, American rabbis had spoken about the most fundamental and recurrent theme in the Bible: Do not oppress a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
