I have never seen anything like our current anti-Semitic climate. Jews understand this dynamic in the same way Black Americans understand racism in ways white Americans cannot. We know the dog whistles, the coded language that anti-Semites use to signal their hate.

Violent anti-Semitic attacks in the U.S. rose 50 percent last year. According to the Anti-Defamation League, there were a total of 56 against Jewish victims.

Jews and Christians are different and one way to understand each other is to ask questions. Sometimes, said Levine, we think, "yes, but shouldn't we already know this" and then we make stuff up because we think we understand it.

On finding ways to create and celebrate Christian-Jewish relations, Levine said, "We must agree to disagree on fundamental issues and agree to agree on even more fundamental issues."
