R' Ken Spiro: Why Goyim Really Hate Jews
Summary
Host Yaakov Langer and Rabbi Ken Spiro explore the deep, biblical roots of antisemitism, arguing it stems from a spiritual clash over monotheism rather than mere cultural differences. They analyze Hitler’s ideology to reveal that the hatred targets the Jewish mission to bring moral conscience to the world. The discussion concludes that assimilation fails as a solution, urging Jews to embrace their role as a "light unto the nations" to counter this ancient hostility.
