Reviews"Two bestselling authors engage in an enlightening back-and-forth about Jewishness and antisemitism...An important dialogue at a fraught time, emphasizing mutual candor, curiosity, and respect." - Kirkus, "This is a book where all pretense is gone ... the authors are honest about what they don't know, assumptions they've made and reactions they've had. [It's a book] for everyone... it provides readers an opportunity to learn basic information to refute antisemitism and educate others in everyday life... [It] is an accessible book that breaks down important topics in a way that includes relevant history and information, without judgment... Above all, it's a book about hope -- and Acho and Tishby never lose sight of that fact." - Jaime Herndon, The Jewish Book Council

SynopsisFrom two New York Times bestelling authors, a disarmingly honest and propulsive investigation that will do for antisemitism what How to Be Antracist did for racism by connecting the dots between the tropes and hatred of the past to our current controversial and complicated moment., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From two New York Times bestselling authors, a timely, disarmingly honest, and thought-provoking investigation into antisemitism that connects the dots between the tropes and hatred of the past to our current complicated moment. For Emmanuel Acho and Noa Tishby no question about Jews is off-limits. They go there. They cover Jews and money. Jews and power. Jews and privilege. Jews and white privilege. The Black and Jewish struggle. Emmanuel asks, Did Jews kill Jesus? To which Noa responds, "Why are Jewish people history's favorite scapegoat?" They unpack Judaism itself: Is it a religion, culture, a peoplehood, or a race? And: Are you antisemitic if you're anti-Zionist? The questions--and answers--might make you squirm, but together, they explain the tropes, stereotypes, and catalysts of antisemitism in America today. The topics are complicated and Acho and Tishby bring vastly different perspectives. Tishby is an outspoken Israeli American. Acho is a mild-mannered son of a Nigerian American pastor. But they share a superpower: an uncanny ability to make complicated ideas easy to understand so anyone can follow the straight line from the past to our immediate moment--and then see around corners. Acho and Tishby are united by the core belief that hatred toward one group is never isolated: if you see the smoke of bigotry in one place, expect that we will all be in the fire. Informative and accessible, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew has a unique structure: Acho asks questions and Tishby answers them with deeply personal, historical, and political responses. This book will enable anyone to explain--and identify--what Jewish hatred looks like. It is a much-needed lexicon for this fraught moment in Jewish history. As Acho says, "Proximity breeds care and distance breeds fear."
