What Dave Portnoy Gets Wrong about Antisemitism

Holocaust education is not an effective response to contemporary antisemitism. Here’s what is. 

Teaching people to be proud Jews is the best strategy to defend against antisemitism.

Politics | Opinion

The fatal flaw in how we now memorialize the Holocaust 

Far from protecting against rampant antisemitism, it has only fueled it.

The left and its obsession with “black and brown” people is to blame for the moral relativism that poisoned Holocaust education. They could stand that Jews may have lighter skin and were the victims of the most evil genocide in history, and that the descendants of those same Jews have been so successful - both upend intersectionalism and the victim culture.

The Fate of Europe’s Pre-War Synagogues: The Restored Shuls

Drawing some hope and inspiration from the pre-war synagogues which were meticulously restored.

ALL of European Jewish history was almost totally destroyed during the Holocaust. That history was thousands of years old. The Jewish presence in Europe preceded any of the modern nation states. I didn't know that any of the pre-Holocaust synagogues were being restored, but this is very good news, although a tiny, minuscule fraction of what was lost.
