Join us for the launch of Fighting the Hate: A Handbook for Jews Under Siege, the new book by Melanie Phillips.
Written in response to the growing sense of anxiety and confusion many Jews are experiencing today, the book is intended as a guide and resource, offering clarity about the challenges we face and practical suggestions for how individuals and communities might respond.
Alongside examining recent events, the book looks more broadly at the nature and scope of contemporary Jew-hatred, and why it has proven so difficult to address. It asks what strategies have worked, which have not, and what may be required going forward.
The evening will offer an opportunity for thoughtful discussion about the challenges of the present moment, and the ideas and approaches Melanie Phillips sets out in her book.
Melanie Phillips is a British journalist, broadcaster and author who has championed traditional values in the culture war for more than three decades.
