Why This Book. Why Now.

After the massacre of October 7th, many Jews in the Diaspora are still in shock over the eruption of antisemitism around the world, particularly on American college campuses.  Sadly, the sentiments and lies have been years in the making, incubated in academia and then reaffirmed in the media bias. Sites for basic historical information like Wikipedia have been ravaged by activists in a coordinated campaign to discredit and undermine the recent and ancient history of the Jewish People in their fight for self determination.  10 Things Every Jew Should Know provides a straight-forward illustrated guide for basic literacy about the subject of Judaism, Israel, the Middle East and more.  Learn more.
