Nearly 80 percent of American Jews felt less safe after the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, and fearing antisemitism, many changed their public behavior, the American Jewish Committee (AJC) said Feb. 13 in its new report on antisemitism.
Specifically, 78 percent of American Jews said the attack made them feel less safe here because of their Jewish identity, and 46 percent changed their behavior afterwards, the AJC said in releasing its findings. The 46 percent was an increase from the previous year’s 38 percent.
The American public in general is becoming more aware of antisemitism, the survey found, with 92 percent saying antisemitism affects society as a whole and that all of society is responsible for combatting it. ===
John Cooper, the lead vocalist and bassist of the rock band Skillet. Cooper has penned “Awake & Alive to Truth,” a book that explores themes of truth and personal conviction.
The book presents an exploration into finding truth in a complex world. Cooper shares insights from his personal experiences and his understanding of faith, aiming to engage readers in a conversation about navigating belief in contemporary society.
Cooper says in “Awake & Alive to Truth” he seeks to address questions about truth, identity, and maintaining faith amidst societal pressures. He invites readers to consider their own beliefs and the foundation upon which they are built, emphasizing the importance of personal conviction.===
