<![CDATA[<p data-start="201" data-end="481">Two Israeli embassy staffers shot in Washington. Jewish activists burned in Boulder. A mayoral candidate in New York who refused to condemn the Holocaust gaining momentum. Antisemitism in the United States is no longer hiding in the shadows — it's on the march, in broad daylight.</p> <p data-start="483" data-end="996">In this urgent bonus episode of <em data-start="515" data-end="535">Orthodox Conundrum</em>, Scott Kahn speaks with Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz and Andy Weiss about the troubling rise in antisemitic violence and rhetoric, the mainstreaming of hate, and how American Jews are responding — with concern, activism, and a growing sense of alarm. From Zohran Mamdani's alarming candidacy to the broader cultural shift that's making Jew-hatred acceptable again, this is a frank and timely conversation every Jew needs to hear — whether or not you live in New York.</p> <p>Check out Orthodox Conundrum Commentary on Substack and get your free subscription by going to <a href= "https://scottkahn.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://scottkahn.substack.com/</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr">Please listen to and share this podcast, and let us know what you think on the Orthodox Conundrum Discussion Group on Facebook (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/432020081498108" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/432020081498108</a>).</p> <p dir="ltr">Thanks to all of our Patreon subscribers, who have access to bonus JCH podcasts, merch, and more - we appreciate your help, and hope you really enjoy the extras!
