In a world increasingly marked by division and intolerance, Rabbi Raphael Shore offers a compelling exploration of one of the most ancient and persistent forms of hatred: antisemitism. Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Jew: Learning to Love the Lessons of Jew-Hatred delves into the roots of this pervasive prejudice, drawing on historical facts, religious insights, and contemporary analysis to provide a nuanced understanding of why antisemitism exists and how it can be confronted. This thought-provoking book not only dissects the origins of Jew-hatred but also challenges readers to see beyond the negativity. Rabbi Shore argues that much of the animosity towards Jews stems from a deeper, often unspoken, recognition of the profound impact that Jewish values-such as morality, justice, and compassion-have had on the world. By embracing these values rather than retreating from them, Jews and non-Jews alike can find strength, purpose, and a path toward a more just society. With clarity and conviction, Rabbi Shore urges readers to confront antisemitism head-on, not by succumbing to despair but by embracing Jewish identity and the empowering message it carries. This book is not just a response to hate; it is a call to action, a guide to understanding, and a beacon of hope for all those who seek to make the world a better place. Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Jew? is a must-read for anyone seeking to comprehend the complexities of antisemitism, the resilience of the Jewish spirit, and the power of faith in the face of adversity. Whether you are a scholar, a student, or simply someone who cares about justice, this book will challenge your perceptions and inspire your soul. "A wake-up call for Jews to take on their mission of being a light unto the nations." - Bob Diener, co-founder of Hotels.com, author of Biblical Secrets to Business Success
