Exploring what it means to come of age in an era marked by increasing antisemitism, readers see through the eyes of Jewish Gen Zers how identities are shaped in response to and in defiance of antisemitism.

Using personal experiences, qualitative research, and the historic moment in which Generation Z is coming of age, Jewish educator Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath uses antisemitism from both the political left and the right to explore identity development among Jewish Generation Zers. With insights from educators, students, activists, and more, she holds a lens up to current antisemitism and its impact on the choices and opinions of the next generation of Jewish leaders.

Chapters cover Holocaust education for the final generation able to speak directly to Holocaust survivors and learn their stories firsthand; anti-Zionism as a modern manifestation of antisemitism; and how the realities of 21st-century America have shaped the modern Jewish experience, ranging from the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh to how Generation Zers use social media and understand diversity. The core of this book is a collection of stories: of intersectional identity, of minority affiliations, and of overcoming adversity in order to flourish and thrive.

Reviews for #antisemitism: Coming of Age during the Resurgence of Hate

This important book enables us to hear today's Jewish Generation Z, in their own words, speaking from their own lived experience. What does it mean to them to be Jewish? In their young lifetimes, the ancient hatred of antisemitism has reappeared as an ugly, dangerous problem. What is the impact on them? What should we know about their hopes and goals for the future? Because their future is ours. * Ann F. Lewis, Former White House Director of Communications * A must-read for teens, their parents, and community leaders who want to better understand Generation Z in the context of understanding and combatting antisemitism. * William C. Daroff, Chief Executive Officer, Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations * Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath is wise beyond her years. She is a highly knowledgeable academic and pedagogue, and this book reflects both of these qualities. By weaving together personal stories from a diverse group of Generation Zers, as well as her own experiences, she creates a portrait of today's young American Jews that is well-written and compelling. * David I. Bernstein, PhD, Dean Emeritus, Pardes Institute for Jewish Studies *
