Born in Bnei Brak and raised in an ultra-Orthodox, anti-Zionist family, Tuvia Tenenbom left the Haredi community and moved to America to study science and the arts.
After the success of his book, I Sleep in Hitler's Room, his publisher asked him to revisit the country of his youth and document his journey. The result is a very unorthodox look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the role of the international community – Europe in particular – in trying to “catch the Jew” in acts of wrongdoing small and large.
In Catch the Jew!, Tenenbom satirically skewers the right, the left, the centrists, the Jews, Arabs, the Americans, the Europeans, and just about everyone in between. He joins host Ilene Prusher in the studio for an appropriately eccentric interview.
