“Raphael Shore presents this ancient scourge through a modern lens… This is the right book at the right time and is a must-read for those seeking to master this complex subject.”
-Ambassador David Friedman, Former United States Ambassador to Israel
A bold and eye-opening book for readers seeking clarity in a time of rising antisemitism and identity confusion.
In Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Jew?, Rabbi Raphael Shore offers a powerful and timely exploration of Jewish resilience, identity, and moral clarity. As the world prepares to mark Passover and Holocaust Memorial Day, this provocative work invites readers on a journey that connects the ancient struggle for freedom with the urgent challenges of today.
Why have Jews been hated for so long-and what does that say about the values they bring into the world?
With a rare blend of historical insight, religious perspective, and cultural critique, Rabbi Shore tackles the uncomfortable reality of antisemitism head-on. But this is not a book about victimhood. It’s a book about mission.
Far from shrinking in the face of hate, Rabbi Shore challenges Jews-and those who stand with them-to reclaim their unique role in history. He argues that Jew-hatred often stems from a subconscious recognition of Judaism’s transformative ethical power: a tradition that introduced the world to conscience, justice, and moral responsibility.
Perfect for readers reflecting on themes of liberation, faith, remembrance, and responsibility, this book speaks directly to our moment of growing division and rising intolerance.
Whether you’re observing Passover, honoring Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), or trying to make sense of today’s political and spiritual landscape, Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Jew? offers a fresh, fearless, and ultimately hopeful perspective.
