Caught Between Extremes

Shabbos Kestenbaum Returns to the Sheraton

The Woke Left, the Woke Right – and The Jews

In an age of political tribalism, viral outrage, and social-media extremism, antisemitism no longer belongs to one side of the political divide. Harvard graduate and nationally recognized Jewish advocate Shabbos Kestenbaum has confronted it on college campuses, before Congress, across television networks, and online. Drawing upon his encounters and debates with voices from the woke left and woke right, he explores how opposing ideologies can arrive at the same ancient hatred—and what Jews must do to respond with clarity, courage, unity, and an unwavering commitment to who we are.

“When the extremes grow louder, Jewish courage must stand taller.”
