Art Katz discusses the roots of anti-Semitism, suggesting that it stems from a failure of the Jewish people to fulfill their divine calling to be a blessing to the nations. He emphasizes that the resentment from Gentiles may arise from their perception of a loss of blessedness due to Jewish disobedience, which can provoke anger and judgment. Katz argues that this anti-Semitism could be viewed as a divine judgment meant to spur repentance and a return to their sacred mission. He highlights the need for introspection within the Jewish community rather than attributing blame solely to external factors. Ultimately, he posits that the solution to anti-Semitism lies in spiritual renewal and a return to God.

Art Katz addresses the alarming rise of anti-Semitism, which he describes as 'the new anti-Semitism,' highlighting its resurgence in mainstream society, including universities and social movements. He notes that this form of anti-Semitism is not only more widespread but also more accepted, with individuals openly expressing hostility towards Israel and the Jewish people. Katz draws parallels to historical events, warning that societal attitudes can shift dramatically and rapidly, as seen in Nazi Germany. He emphasizes the need for vigilance and preparedness as these sentiments become more commonplace, suggesting that we are approaching a critical time for the Jewish people, referred to as the Time of Jacob's Trouble.
