Summary of Jonathan Greenblatt's It Could Happen Here

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I imagined a nightmare scenario where early one morning, my phone would buzz me awake and I would fumble for it in the dark. A staffer on the other end would inform me that there had been a horrible massacre at a Jewish site somewhere in Europe. #2 The shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh was the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history. It was a devastating reminder of the Jewish people’s inherent vulnerability. #3 As I stood in front of the Tree of Life synagogue, I thought about the European Jewish community, which was experiencing the same kind of hate that America’s Jews were. Would we have to fortify our schools, markets, and places of worship. #4 The attack in Pittsburgh demonstrated that Jewish sites could be attacked in America, something that seemed inconceivable just a few years prior. If Jews weren’t safe, then no marginalized or hated group would be safe.
