Bernard-Henri Levy is a journalist, activist, filmmaker and author. He co-founded the anti-racist group SOS Racism and served on French diplomatic missions.
His latest book, "The Genius of Judaism," offers a new vision of what it means to be a Jew; a critique of a new form of antisemitism; and a provocative defense of Israel. Levy reveals overlooked Jewish roots of Western democratic ideals and confronts the current Islamist threat. He says that Jews are a "treasure" whose spirit must continue to inform moral thinking and courage today.
Levy's most passionate book, and in many ways his most personal, "The Genius of Judaism" is a profound, hypnotic intellectual reckoning.
