Charles Jacobs Introduces “Betrayal: The Failure of American Jewish Leadership” (May 21, 2023)

The speech is riveting. The ZOA’s Morton Klein called Jacobs’ address “extraordinary and compelling.”

Betrayal is composed of 22 essays — some by distinguished authors and activists including Alan Dershowitz, Mort Klein, Caroline Glick, Richard Landes, Jonathan Tobin, and Thane Rosenbaum — and others by unsung Jewish activists who describe how their local Jewish leaders ignore or explain anti-Semitism away when it comes from “inconvenient sources.”

This may be the first book about the failure of the Jewish establishment to respond effectively to the rapid rise in anti-Semitism in America.
