It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our longtime contributor, Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld. Dr. Gerstenfeld was former chairman of the Steering Committee of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and the author of many books, including The War of a Million Cuts. Among the many honors he received was the 2019 International Lion of Judah Award of the Canadian Institute for Jewish Research paying tribute to him as the leading international authority on contemporary antisemitism. He will be greatly missed.
