Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Jew

Learning to Love the Lessons of Jew-Hatred

By: Raphael Shore

Narrated by: Raphael Shore

A bold and timely exploration of antisemitism, identity, and moral purpose.

In Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Jew?, Rabbi Raphael Shore confronts the world’s oldest hatred through a strikingly original lens. Rather than viewing antisemitism as a story of victimhood, Shore reveals it as a profound—if disturbing—recognition of the Jewish people’s moral mission and influence on civilization.

Drawing on history, philosophy, and modern events, the audiobook explores why antisemitism has persisted across centuries and cultures, and why Jewish values—ethical monotheism, compassion, justice, and responsibility—have so often threatened tyrants and extremists. In a provocative reversal, Shore shows how history’s fiercest Jew-haters often understood the power of the Jewish idea more clearly than Jews themselves.

This is not a audiobook about religion, but about meaning, courage, and moral clarity in an age of confusion. For Jews and non-Jews alike, it offers insight, challenge, and inspiration.“A masterful wake-up call that reveals the extraordinary mission of the Jewish people—and its universal relevance.”—Tal Ben-Shahar, author of Happier
