Vocal Point-Rabbi Daniel Lapin

Topic: The Rising Tide of Anti-Semitism.

George Washington’s favorite Bible verse was Micah 4:4, which talks about how every man shall be able to rest under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. To the father of our country, this verse from the Old Testament was a picture of what America can offer to the world—including to its Jewish population. Washington himself wrote a letter to three separate synagogues in America, saying how pleased he was in this fledgling new nation, Jews would be free from harassment, the type from which they fled from the old world. Fast forward to today, and we’ve seen incredible examples of anti-Semitism in America, including on the campuses of some of our most prestigious schools. Rabbi Daniel Lapin, President of the American Alliance of Jews and Christians, has been a guest on this program many times. Rabbi Daniel Lapin joins Jerry Newcombe to discuss the rising tide of anti-Semitism of late. www.rabbidaniellapin.com
