A Conversation with Bari Weiss

October 15, 2020

Bari Weiss has earned her reputation for independence and fearlessness. From her former experiences as an editor at the Wall Street Journal and editor and opinion writer at the New York Times, she has never shied away from taking on the received wisdom of the moment or standing against the crowd.

Her 2019 book, How to Fight Anti-Semitism, offers the same level of bold openness that she has brought to the rest of her career. Through an exploration of anti-Semitism’s history and its rise, Bari delivers an essential, timely, and forthright account of one of the most enduring moral failings of humanity, and provides ways to challenge it.

On October 15, 2020, FOLCS was joined by journalist and author, Bari Weiss, for a Conversation.
