In a recent op-ed for my local newspaper, the Traverse City Record Eagle, I explored the impact of local actions and community support in combating antisemitism. Here’s some of what I wrote: The recent events have left many in our community emotional and upset. They are losing lifelong friends. Progressive Jews are losing allies. We are feeling alone and isolated. We see lies masquerading as truth, amplified on social media and in street protests. We see Jews being endangered on college campuses. Despite what you may read about a powerful Jewish lobby, Jews represent just 0.2% of the world’s population. We are a vulnerable minority, often perceived as more powerful than we are because of ingrained antisemitism.
