The American Dream Lecture Series: Ruth Wisse on Antisemitism in the United States

The United States is confronting the greatest rise in antisemitism in decades. Following Hamas’s October 7 massacre, the Anti-Defamation League reported a 337 percent increase in antisemitic incidents—experienced in synagogues, on campuses, and by Jewish individuals and businesses nationwide. As John Podhoretz has observed, the situation is “a national onslaught that has no precedent in American history or American life.”

To shed light on this issue, Harvard University’s Ruth Wisse will deliver AEI’s fifth American Dream Lecture. A renowned scholar of Yiddish literature, Jewish history, and culture, Dr. Wisse will explore the evolution of American antisemitism and discuss its unprecedented rise in recent months. How can we effectively counter what Dr. Wisse has called “the escalation of anti-Jewish politics in America”?

Join us for the fifth event in the American Dream Lecture Series as Dr. Wisse discusses the threat of modern antisemitism in the United States, followed by a conversation with AEI’s Matthew Continetti.
