S.8 #1 | Sacred Strategy of Combating Antisemitism: An interview with Alexandra Levine

Send us Fan Mail Antisemitism doesn’t start at the national level, it starts where people learn what to believe. I sit down with Alexandra Levine, an entrepreneur, political consultant, philanthropist, and host of a political podcast, to talk about what it looks like to stay loudly and proudly Jewish when the culture gets hostile. She shares how being the only Jewish child in her classroom shaped her backbone, and why Jewish identity, tradition, and community are not “extras” but real protection against isolation and fear.  We dig into Holocaust education as a concrete strategy to combat hate, misinformation, and propaganda, from K through 12 classrooms to college campuses. Alexandra explains what bipartisan work can look like when the goal is bigger than party, and why local politics matters so much: school boards, county budgets, and state hearings can determine whether kids learn history accurately or absorb ideology. If you care about fighting antisemitism, Israel advocacy, or strengthening Jewish community life, this conversation offers practical frameworks, not just slogans.  We also go beyond politics into spirituality, prayer, and resilience. Alexandra tells a moving story about advocating for her grandfather during COVID and how prayer, community, and persistence intersected in real time. We talk about welcoming spaces like Chabad, the importance of leadership that avoids political theatre in sacred settings, and how inviting non-Jews into synagogue can dismantle stereotypes and build allies.  If you get value from honest conversations about antisemitism, Holocaust education, Jewish identity, Israel, community, and local civic action, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.
