SUPER JEW
The Miracle of Jewish Survival

This series will address anti-Semitism, assimilation, lessons from the Holocaust, the chosen people and Jewish pride. Teens will embrace their Jewish identity in a modern world.

From the ghettos and pogroms of the Middle Ages, to the concentration camps in Europe, to Islamist terror all across the world today, Jews have been beaten, attacked, and singled out for destruction. The hateful rhetoric on college campuses, in the media, and all over the Internet seems to get worse by the day. Even modern Israel lives under constant threat and has to fight for the right to exist. Why is it that ever since the dawn of the Jewish nation, there have been people who tried to destroy us? For what reason or purpose are the Jews still here? Would the world be any different if the Jews didn’t exist?
