Approximately 6,500 participants from over 100 countries attended a Chabad conference in Brooklyn. The author argues that the event illustrates the weakness of antisemitism and the strength of Jewish life in the US, contrary to warnings from Jewish organizations.

Approximately 6,500 participants from over 100 countries attended a Chabad conference in Brooklyn, New York. The author, Shlomo Shamir, argues that the event illustrates the weakness of antisemitism and the strength of Jewish life in the US, contrary to warnings from Jewish organizations. The conference, which includes thousands of bearded Chasidic scholars dressed in Chasidic attire, takes place in the heart of New York and serves as proof, in his words, that antisemitism 'is barely breathing its last breaths.' The author notes that although antisemitism has not disappeared, it is weak and decrepit. He calls for initiating Jewish events that demonstrate the robust existence of Judaism and the weakness of antisemitism.
