Uncomfortable Conversations
with a Jew, by Emmanuel Acho and Noa Tishby: A
timely, disarmingly honest, and thought-provoking investigation into
anti-Semitism that connects the dots between the tropes of the past to our
current complicated moment. Acho and Tishby tackle tough questions about
Jews—money, power, Zionism, and antisemitism—head on. No question is off
limits. Drawing from their different backgrounds, they make complex,
uncomfortable topics accessible, tracing antisemitism from the past to the
present. They debunk loaded myths, explore Jewish identity as religion, culture,
and peoplehood, and examine the intersections of Black and Jewish history. The
discussion will be led by Shmuel Shottan.
