Elizabeth Sobel Blum
On October 7, 2023, the world witnessed one of the most devastating attacks on Jewish life in generations. Antisemitism has exploded since then, and it has been met with deafening silence. Silence is Not Neutral is a reckoning with that silence-and a fierce, compassionate call to break it. Drawing on the testimonials of dozens of Jewish Americans, Elizabeth Sobel Blum asks us to bear witness in a fractured world and what we owe to one another when the stakes are highest. Rooted in the Jewish tradition of tikkun olam-repairing the world-and in the universal human obligation to stand with the vulnerable, Silence is Not Neutral is ultimately a book about light. It is about our courage and shared responsibility to carry it forward.
