On this episode of Coffee with Curtis Politics, Robert is joined by Rabbi Raphael Shore, filmmaker, educator, and founder of OpenDor Media. Together, they explore the challenges of modern Jewish identity, the roots and persistence of antisemitism, and the role of storytelling in shaping how communities respond to hate. Rabbi Shore shares insights from his new book, Who’s Afraid of the Big, Bad Jew, and discusses his latest documentary, Tragic Awakening, which reexamines the world’s oldest hatred through a contemporary lens. The conversation ranges from the limits of Jewish advocacy to the deeper question of whether it’s the responsibility of Jews to “cure” antisemitism. It’s a thoughtful, wide-ranging dialogue about faith, resilience, and the narratives we choose to tell.
