Why the Jews?
Book • 1983
In this thought-provoking book, Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin delve into the complex and enduring phenomenon of antisemitism.
They examine historical contexts, ideological shifts, and psychological underpinnings to understand why Jews have been the object of intense and universal hatred.
The authors argue that antisemitism is primarily a response to Judaism and its values, such as the concept of the chosen people, ethical monotheism, and the moral challenge posed by Jewish life.
The book covers various forms of antisemitism from ancient times to the Holocaust and contemporary anti-Zionism, offering new insights and perspectives on this persistent prejudice.
