Did the Jews kill Jesus? What’s the deal with Jews and money? And why are Jews the world’s favorite scapegoat? Lisa Dicksteen will lead a discussion based on the NYT bestseller book “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew.”

This month’s meeting is a little different, mainly because it requires some prep on your part. We are discussing parts of the new book “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew“ by Emmanuel Acho and Noa Tishby.

The book is basically a transcription of her appearance on his podcast (post-October 7^th) and in it they discuss everything from whether Jews killed Jesus (we know that’s a no, so we’re not covering that chapter), to the American Black and Jewish relationship over time, to the relationship between Jews and money and power as seen by us and as seen by outsiders.

I have created PDFs of the chapters we are going to discuss, as well as the preface/forward and the chapter on why this whole thing almost never happened. Please read in numerical order as that is the order in which they appear in the book.

You can come whether or not you read anything, but you are not going to be able to understand what is going on or take part in the conversation if you don’t do the reading first.

The chapters are short, six to eight pages or so, and as it’s a transcription of an interview, there’s a lot of white space, so don’t worry that you don’t have time or it’s going to be too much. They are fascinating and engaging and will make for great conversation.

These two are clearly friends and respect each other, so the conversation is honest and respectful throughout. I am looking forward to facilitating this conversation!
