SUMMARY:OZ Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Builder’s Stone: How Jews and Christians Built the West 
 – And Why Only They Can Save It\, by Melanie Phillips\n\nDiscussion led 
 by Arthur Seltzer\n\nCome in person or click HERE to join by Zoom.\n\nAs t
 he West struggles against attempts to destroy it from within and without\,
  key lessons in resilience from its Jewish parent can enable both Christia
 nity and civilization to survive.\n\nWestern civilization is facing acriti
 cal moment. Foreign enemies sensing its weakness are circling. Internally\
 , the West is being consumed by division\, decadence\, and demoralization.
  The October 7 attack on Israel presented it with a choice between civiliz
 ation and barbarism—a challenge the West has failed. But this damaged so
 ciety is far from lost if it takes advice from an unexpected source. Weste
 rn culture is based upon Christianity\, whose own foundations in turn lie 
 in Judaism. The unique survival of the Jewish people offers both the West 
 and its struggling Christian church\, as well as secular people who shun r
 eligion\, priceless lessons in resilience that they must learn if their cu
 lture is to survive.\n\nNext selection for Jan. 25\, 2026\, 10:00 am: Song
 s for the Broken Hearted\, by Ayelet Tsabari.
