Eisav Hates Yaakov: The threat that lurks

A new wave of the world’s oldest hatred.

From Eisav to Yishmael, from the Poles to the Palestinians, anti-Semitism is alive and well. As long as Jews have been in exile, they’ve been relentlessly exposed to acts of violence and discrimination. Yet despite fierce anti-Semitism, the existence of a vibrant Jewish people is enduring. While some ascribe this eternity to the tenacity that’s at the core of their spirit, there certainly appear to be signs of the miraculous.
Eisav Hates Yaakov is a timely, poignant book that explores the beginnings and spread of anti-Semitism, from its roots in Jewish history to modern-day college campuses, anti-Israel protests, and a biased press. Renowned educator and author Rabbi Shmuel Yaakov Klein provides a comprehensive, meaningful approach to this ongoing phenomenon while maintaining hope for the future of our people.
