How to Fight Anti-Semitism

In 2020, Bari Weiss resigned from The New York Times, citing a hostile work environment and experiences of anti-semitic harassment. Since then, she has emerged as a powerful voice for Jewish resilience and moral courage.

In her award-winning book, How to Fight Anti-Semitism, Weiss writes that like many American Jews, she once believed the United States would remain immune to the historic waves of antisemitism. With its founding principles of religious freedom, equality, and pluralism, America has served as a modern-day “New Jerusalem.” Yet today, even the most fortunate Jewish communities are beginning to encounter the “three-headed dragon” of anti-Semitism: physical violence, ideological vilification, and a pressure to self-silence or assimilate.
