Jewish Strength in an Age of Hate, Assimilation, and Apathy
Rabbi Yitzchak Schochet
In this powerful talk, we explore the “three A’s” facing Jews today — antisemitism, assimilation, and apathy, and a fourth A: our Answer. Drawing on Torah, history, humor, and modern stories from October 7th and beyond, Rabbi Schochet explains how Jew-hatred is ancient, why the real shock is how good we had it for so long, and how fear often comes from clinging to the illusion of control. Instead of being defined by our enemies, we’re called to deepen our Jewish identity, reclaim our dignity, strengthen community, and “let go and let God.”
