About this listen

 Co-Hosts Avinoam Patt and Lila Corwin Berman discover the stories and scholars to help make sense of antisemitism today. They start with a theory: the answer to understanding (and perhaps fighting) antisemitism is only as good as the questions one asks. And then they search far and wide for the best questions and the people who can ask and answer them. And spoiler: Avi, Lila, and their guests don’t always agree. In fact, that’s the plot, or at least part of it. How scholars and other people can passionately disagree while remaining curious about one another and the world, one question at a time.@ 2025 NYUSCA Judaism Social Sciences Spirituality
