The Post October 7 Jew

We went from the lowest point in Jewish history, the day after the Shoah, to what I regard still as the peak moment in Jewish history in terms of Jewish power, and suddenly we're back center stage.

October seventh happens, and that was a moment that the story shattered.

That was the moment that we really saw the budding of a full-scale attack on this Jewish story of the last eighty years.

The stakes right now are everything.

Four thousand years are on the scales.

We're here today to talk about the post-October seventh Jew, and I really want to start by highlighting something that you've been saying for the past few years, which is actually the subject of a book that you're now working on, and which you've been saying that particularly in the aftermath of October seventh, the Jewish story itself is under attack, specifically the Jewish story of the last eighty years.

So, you know, today I want to focus on what is this story? How exactly is it under attack? And how do we reclaim it? So, you know, but just to start, give us an overview, what is the Jewish story of the past eighty years? Like, what, what would you say it is?
