What if antisemitism is sustained not only by prejudice, but by loneliness, sexual shame, sexual deviance, and the breakdown of human intimacy?
In Kosher Sex for Antisemites, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, author of the epoch-defining international blockbuster Kosher Sex offers a sweeping and unconventional interpretation of one of history’s oldest hatreds, arguing that cultures unable to reconcile desire with dignity often turn outward in resentment, conspiracy, and blame. Drawing on Jewish thought, history, biography, and contemporary cultural criticism, he explores how the erosion of intimacy and the rise of sexual shame and deviance in an age saturated with pornography can harden into social violence.
Across a wide range of historical periods, from the medieval to the modern, Rabbi Shmuley traces recurring links among misogyny, repression, alienation, and hatred of Jews, while at the same time offering a counterpoint that illustrates how Judaism’s understanding of sex is not shameful or trivial, but sanctified, covenantal, and bound to responsibility, joy, and mutual care.
Purely original and comprehensive, Kosher Sex for Antisemites shows antisemitism from a new perspective while making a broader case for cultural repair. Rabbi Shmuley argues that the answer to hatred cannot be political language alone but must also include stronger marriages, more intimate unions, greater passion in relationships, deeper community, and a renewed confidence in life, love, and human dignity. The result is an electrifying book that speaks not only to the persistence of antisemitism but to the conditions under which a healthier and more life-affirming civilization might still be rebuilt.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach is the international bestselling author of thirty-eight books, translated into more than twenty languages. He has been hailed as “the most famous rabbi in America” (The Washington Post, Newsweek), “arguably the most famous Orthodox Jew on earth” (The New York Observer), and named one of the fifty most influential Jews in the world (The Jerusalem Post). A fearless public intellectual and one of Israel and Jewry’s most eloquent defenders, Rabbi Boteach has appeared on virtually every major television network and media platform across the globe—from the United States to Europe to Asia to Australia—bringing his unapologetic voice to hundreds of millions. His groundbreaking 1999 classic Kosher Sex transformed the global conversation on intimacy, teaching that passion and sanctity must be orchestrated into an indivisible whole. It remains one of the most influential works on relationships and sexuality published in modern times. Oprah Winfrey anointed Rabbi Shmuley as her sexuality and marital relationship expert and gave him his own daily show alongside Maya Angelou, Gayle King, and Dr. Oz. For eleven years, he served as Rabbi at Oxford University, where he founded the L’Chaim Society and built it into one of the largest student organizations in the university’s history, mentoring future leaders and shaping a generation of thinkers. Rabbi Boteach is the only rabbi ever to receive the London Times Preacher of the Year Award, and remains the competition’s record-holder. He lives in New Jersey with his Australian wife, Debbie, and together they have, thank God, nine children and twelve grandchildren.
