The Root Cause of Anti-Semitism and How to Solve it: The Torah’s Surprising View
Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe
Jew hatred is not a new phenomenon. Ever since our people were founded — and truthfully even beforehand — we have been the recipients of unprecedented, enmity and hostility. Why are God’s chosen people uniquely targeted? What is the underlying reason for anti-Semitism? Why are we not more accepted into and tolerated by the general society? This is a question often pondered by scholars and pundits. With the global increase of anti-Semitism following the October 7th massacres and the war that ensued, this question is top of mind for many. In this podcast we share the Torah’s surprising and counterintuitive perspective. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php .
