概要
Most people picture librarians as quiet and reserved — until you meet Eytan Kessler.
In this episode of Hot Jewish Energy: The Podcast, Michael sits down with Eytan, who shares what it means to be a gay Jewish librarian navigating faith, identity, and activism in a time of rising antisemitism. From his Long Island roots to his connection with Israel, he reflects on how books, history, and community shaped his voice — and why he refuses to let misinformation go unchallenged.
We discuss:
- Highlighting Jewish resistance stories
- Confronting harmful Holocaust narratives in publishing
- Why supporting Jewish and Zionist authors matters
- The rise of antisemitism in media and online spaces
- Navigating social media as a queer Jewish advocate
- The emotional toll of online hate
- How the Israel–Gaza war reshaped his activism
Eitan speaks candidly about stepping back for mental health, standing firm in his values, and using literature as a form of resistance.
This episode is for educators, activists, readers, and anyone who believes storytelling shapes culture. Because protecting Jewish history — and amplifying authentic voices — isn’t optional. It’s essential.
