Summary

Purim may be Judaism’s most festive holiday, but its story — a threatened genocide thwarted by courage — feels strikingly contemporary. Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove and Jon Frankel examine antisemitism in today’s polarized climate and ask whether Jewish life in America feels different after October 7. With guest Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League, they discuss rising hate incidents, campus unrest, media responsibility, and whether now is a moment for Jewish self-protection, bridge-building, or both. A timely Purim conversation about courage, identity, and moral clarity.
