Every culture has its
own story.
If we have to see a future,
a vision of hope,
we have to do what is
right.
Not what we like.
At what point can we say
hate speech and
anti-Semitism will harm the Jews and the world?
In recent years,
there has been a real and troubling
rise in incidents of anti-Semitism creating
an
atmosphere of rejection and intimidation.
With moments
unhindered, anti-Semitism
grows and darkness descends when we
allow evil to be
stronger than we do.
As with other forms of racism, anti-Semitism
is pervasive across
social and political
landscape. This is a challenge for all of us.
Harry Benjamin’s book, Judenrein: A Jewish
Dystopian Thriller describes how we should respond to the voice of evil all
over the world, especially in America…Zack Gurevitz has had a checkered past. A Yeshiva boy, turned Green
Beret, turned junkie, excommunicated by his one-time faith and now the
potential savior of people he doesn’t even like.
As a white supremacist movement stealthily takes the reins of
power in America, again the Jews are made out as scapegoats. Stripped of wealth
and citizenship, they are made to live in 21st century ghettos that hark back
to a sinister and murky past that many had thought would never return.
But things are about to get much worse. With the
revealing of a planned terror attack that will place the blame firmly at Jewish
feet and condemn millions to death, Zack is contacted by Jewish leaders in
Detroit, begging for his help.
Reluctantly he agrees and before long,
he is mired in a conspiracy that will have far reaching consequences for his
country, the Jewish population and even his own sanity. As the clock ticks
down, can Zack find a way to avert a looming disaster? Who is behind the
conspiracy? And can he really trust anyone?
