The Jewish & African-American communities should be allies. We should be focusing on building bridges to overcome the misunderstanding, misinformation and, unfortunately, growing divide.

I reached out to my friend, Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Ben Avraham, an African American, an ex-Entertainment executive from Hollywood and now a Jewish Rabbi in Israel, to hear his thoughts. He introduced a totally new perspective of looking and dealing with Kanye West, Kyrie Irving and the growth of Jew-hating antisemitism as a result of their comments.

This is the message the Jewish and African-American communities should be hearing! POWERFUL.
