What is the new #antisemitism? The Historical Society of Israel in collaboration with the Leo Baeck Institute, invites you to the event "Old/New Antisemitism? Between Past and Present".

Now, more than ever, it is crucial to understand the meaning of the term #antisemitism. The concept of anti-Semitism is intertwined with the study of the history of the Jewish people: from tensions between Jews and Christians in early periods, through blood libels in the Middle Ages and the early modern period, to the mass murder by the Nazis and their collaborators, and contemporary debates about the policies and even the existence of the State of Israel. Can one concept accurately describe so many phenomena? And perhaps its widespread use renders it an empty vessel? The Historical Society of Israel in collaboration with the Leo Baeck Institute, invites you to the event "Old/New Antisemitism? Between Past and Present". The event follows current burning questions and in honor of the English edition of the book “Antisemitism and the Politics of History”. The discussion’s participants are Guy Miron and Scott Uri, the book’s editors, as well as Shulamit Volkov, Mustafa Abbasi and Havi Dreifuss.

My most profound article yet.

This is an article that I have written about the Panchatantra Tales from Ancient Indian Literature. Read it to understand the deep philosophy ingrained in this ancient Indian Text and reap the benefit from its immense, profound and fascinating philosophy. This fascinating book of a Group of Five Treatises discusses human behavior through stories of animals, birds and reptiles. Read this interesting review about the book.
