Is Fighting Antisemitism a Losing Battle?

The oldest hatred – an honorific given to anti-Jewish prejudice – never tires. If anything, it gathers force. According to many surveys, animus towards Jews is increasing in the United States and worldwide. What should American Jewry do about it? Join us at the 92NY where we’ll host the next SAPIR Debate on this topic.

Moderated by SAPIR Editor-in-Chief Bret Stephens, this Debate will feature:

  • Arguing NO: Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, former U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism
  • Arguing YES: Dara Horn, three-time National Jewish Book Award-winning author of People Love Dead Jews
