The Ethics and Public Policy Center invited Gabriel Schoenfeld, author of The Return of Anti-Semitism, to a luncheon event for an in-depth discussion of his illuminating and intensely unsettling new book which traces the resurgence of anti-Semitism in the world as well as elucidates the disturbing reality that this sentiment is making its way into the United States and finding fertile ground in places once considered taboo for hatred and prejudice such as college campuses.

Schoenfeld provided analysis of the new currents of anti-Semitism and, based on his extensive and penetrating historical research, discussed the likely trajectory of this virulent hatred.

Gabriel Schoenfeld joined Commentary magazine in 1994 and is currently its senior editor. Prior to joining Commentary, Schoenfeld was a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., where he founded the research bulletin Post-Soviet Prospects. Schoenfeld earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University’s government department in 1989. Today he writes widely for Commentary on 21st century history and politics. His articles also appear in a number of other publications, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, The New Republic, the Atlantic Monthly, the National Interest, the New Leader, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Der Spiegel, and the Asahi Shimbun. His weekly chess column appears in the New York Sun and the Jerusalem Post. He has appeared as a guest commentator on a variety of network television news shows, including CBS Nightwatch, ABC’s Nightline, CNN, and, in Canada, on the CBC.
