This week's Red Alert Report: Antisemitism is often the canary in the coal mine for a declining society. Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt explains why this issue matters to all who value truth, freedom, and human dignity, and why voting matters now more than ever. @StuartWeinblatt @amy_zewe Full episode: youtu.be/2L-9-X2sn5I?si=zwPA… (also on all major podcast platforms- subscribe, like, and share The Jerusalem Report's Red Alert Reports.)

Today's Red Alert Report: Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt offers a timely warning about rising antisemitism and what it reveals about our society's health. He also examines media bias, the growing acceptance of anti-Jewish rhetoric, the distinction between anti-Zionism and antisemitism, and the vital role Christian allies play in confronting hate. As Election Day approaches, Rabbi Weinblatt underscores the importance of civic engagement. The values that shape our communities and nation do not preserve themselves. Each citizen has both the opportunity and responsibility to participate in the democratic process, thoughtfully and prayerfully exercising the right to vote. This important conversation reminds us that the battle against antisemitism is not solely a Jewish issue. It is a challenge for all who value truth, liberty, and human dignity.

What can we learn from Corrie Ten Boom? More than you know, and lessons as timely as ever.

Election Day in Israel is tomorrow. Confused? The system differs from what we experience in America.
