What It Means to Choose Freedom

- This past Sunday, Bari Weiss gave a speech at 92NY called “The State of World Jewry.” The address is a historic one. Over four decades, it has been delivered by the likes of Elie Wiesel, Abba Eban, Amos Oz, and more.
But for a sense of the state of Jewish life in America these days, you only need to have walked by the building in the hours leading up to and after the speech. You would’ve found that police had cordoned off the entire block and for good reason: anti-Israel protesters, many wearing masks, gathered to intimidate Bari and those who came to the lecture. On the way in, you would’ve been screamed at-told you were a “baby killer” and “genocide supporter” among other choice phrases. You might have even glimpsed Jerry Seinfeld being heckled and called “Nazi scum” on his way out of the talk.
The NYPD and the entire staff of 92NY made sure that everyone who attended the talk was able to do so safely. But everyone must ask themselves: Do you want to live in a country in which simply giving a speech about a Jewish subject requires police protection? What does that reality say about the state of our country and our freedoms?
Bari’s words offer some measure of explanation about the moment we find ourselves in and how we might emerge from it.
A rallying cry to speak up for truth and freedom . Thank you. I’m a non Jew and an
atheist
I’m here with the Jewish community
Thank you so much! Your support is very meaningful.
@@debbyschweighardt5810Also I. It is feeling pretty lonely over here in the Promised Land.
@@desertari decent and ethical people do not in any way hate the Jews and do not group all of one race as the same. It’s sad that there is so much hostility towards the Jewish people at this time …it’s like the world has gone insane but I feel it is a minority of loud and undiscerning people who are hateful. …..and they must be suffering so much as to be so hateful is surely very hard indeed to live with. May all of us find peace within.
Wishing you all stay safe.
@@theinngu5560you know I think people don’t actually realise what is going on. Not really. Decades of anti Israel propaganda, conflation of post colonial narratives that demonise the “oppressor” Jew/zionist/israeli. Meanwhile there is more Jew hatred in the fundaments of Islamic Scripture (the Quoran) than in Mein Kamf. I read the Quoran over Christmas, anyone can and you can read for yourself how easily it is used to exacerbate the chorus of global hatred and scapegoating against 0.2% of the world who are Jews. I actually think good moral people need to truly wake up and realise that the enemies of freedom are coming for all we hold sacred and take for granted in the west. Israel has to be democratic because of the nature of Jewish debating discourse and need for individual sovereignty within a tribe. It is a role model for the world that we all benefit from. What is good for Jews is good for all of us. These are very serious times.
We again know that truth is our best friend, which results in being the light among the darkness.

Food line massacre. Proud moment huh?
there would be no food line stampede if the hostages were released - or if they were never taken in the first place. what a crock

Barri is Free, because she is guided by truth and Love for Freedom
By her hate for Arabs and Muslims, you mean
Thank you Bari for all you do.
It's not Left or Right, but for freedom and America

gays already have too much freedom. FFS, she said she has a WIFE - AND she's speaking in public without being reprimanded. It doesn't get freer than that if you're a gay jew. Now, what about the rest of us NORMAL human beings?
I love Bari Weiss and EVERY SINGLE THING SHE STANDS FOR!
Really? including cancel culture? She was the first to do this at Columbia U.
ruclips.net/video/zf-6f8GT5TA/видео.htmlsi=El2STtxCSyxeCWHh
She stands for justifying mass slaughter
You're in favor of the antiWhite agenda?
She went around crying that Arab professors were harming her sensibilities for criticising Israel. Trying to get them fired. @vivienneb6199
More people in America need to see this
It is not Jews that thrive in these conditions. We all thrive in Freedom.
except the authoritarians, who sit in the corner and hate on the free and plot to take it away. However unpopular it may be to say it, some cultures are better than others, and some people are better than others, if the goal is a measure of human wellbeing.
❤
You know many authoritarians are Jewish right? They are over represented actually.

Yes but the Jewish people are the canary in the coal mine🙏
What an exceptionally spectacular speech by the honorable and indefinitely appreciated, the beautiful, Bari Weiss 💙🤍🫶
B”H, we must learn from our experiences and undoubtedly fight for our freedom, both here in America, Israel and for all of us in the world 🌎
#AmIsraelChai 🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇸🪬
Thank you, Bari for everything you are doing and everything you are standing for!
Victimhood???
@@KryMoore If you think that, you weren't listening...
@@hannahw9767 If you think anything else you are a lemming.
This speech and conversation are inspirational in so many ways but for me the highlight is the recognition of how many Jews have been "lost in the wilderness" for decades and how Oct7 has shown them the way home.
And the end of our "holiday from history".

I love her eloquence. Simply beautiful

I'm a liberal atheist, and I appreciate what Bari is doing, and find it sad what leftist protestors are doing in this country (and around the world). I've generally found that, while religion has nuggets of hope and wisdom, so many of its adherents have demonstrated illogic (understandable... religion isn't logical) and hypocrisy (troubling, but also understandable). What I see on the left left today is essentially a mirror of this illogic and hypocrisy I've seen on the right. It's sad. I appreciate strong centrist voices, whether they be center left or center right, to help ground politics. We need more of it.
Liberal Jews are in a state of shock, their Liberal heros turned against, that evil always existed but came to the forefront with the muslim invasion that has now taken hold thanks to the democrat open borders.
I identify as liberal and I totally agree with you. Both sides would benefit from serious critical thinking courses. All extremism is bad.
the reality check you think you wrote just bounced- its cool, if you wanna see barbarism I got a nice movie of 10-7 to show you. young girls with nails driven into their thighs is not "resistance" , sicko. Youre being manipulated. Get a clue
What a bright, beautiful & eloquent young woman. The despair in her voice is palpable. I’ve been shrugged off by many for voicing the same concerns. Keep going Bari 💙🤍
That was outstanding. Bravo Ms. Weiss!!
Absolutely incredible. Bari always brings me to tears.
Bari, thank you. I’m not sure that you realize what a powerful message you just sent.
Powerful to who?
@@KryMooreto the world 🌎, is that enough or…?
@@richierich440007 Delusional.
Hahahahaha @@richierich440007
Freedom 💙
Bari is brilliant and approachable
We need more people to watch listen and share this wonderful program!
Brilliant speech Ms. Weiss. I'm a Hongkonger and I will always support the Jewish people.
❤
thank you, it's worm my hart.
Many thanks to Bari for her speech.
Bari spoke for and to many of us when she said we must stand up for truth. Thank you Bari, for speaking thus and reminding us that we are in a fight for freedom. God bless America.
Truth! This lady can see very, very clearly.
ruclips.net/video/zf-6f8GT5TA/видео.htmlsi=El2STtxCSyxeCWHh
Unbelievable. I'm humbled, I'm inspired. I'm so much more clear on what it means to be free. Choose freedom.
I love her. I support her and The Free Press.
Me too 😊
Bari, I wrote on Instagram and i write it here as well- you are a beacon of light, and a true inspiration for us all. Am Israel Chai.
Wow, how much do you get paid?
@@KryMoore Gurnisht, I understand that it’s difficult for you to grasp the idea of doing something for nothing, but you can always try and be a better person. Instead of harassing people online you can try volunteering or donating for the poor, try it 💙.
@@lirazdemasure936 Maybe I can try and get college professors fired like Bari. Or maybe make accusations like calling somebody a toady and look like a fool when I get pushback and define what it means?
@@KryMoore You can do as you wish, enjoy your life. I don’t have any desire to play ball with you. Bye 👋🏼.
@@lirazdemasure936 Thats because you can’t disprove what I said, hahahahaha. Enjoy being a lemming for the rest of your life.
Bari for President. Let’s go!
President Of Victimhood.......
@@KryMoore🤡
@KryMoore Okay tubs- you recognize the incessant irritation you feel at her instructional bravery and need to lash out in the face of individually asserted belief in freedom and integrity? That irritation means your ego is tied to hate and your sence of power is threatened by integrity. The more you whine about it, the more obvious your fickle character becomes.
@@ULINEgo You must be new. Try looking up when she was trying to get a college professor fired years before it became fashionable. Tubs.
@@KryMoore so you're a bitter teachers pet from the past harboring a grudge against someone advocating now for freedom and personal responsibility? That's pretty.... adolescent- di- did you end up graduating? What do you do now? Or was that YOU.
I really like this speaker and her message. So informative
Bari Weiss is absolutely inspiring. And she is our Nachshon ben Aminadav. Because she jumped into the Sea of Reeds, leaving the Times because of her belief in transcendent concepts like truth and freedom, she has iinspired - and continues to inspire - thousands of us. עלי והצליחי Bari - you're wonderful!
Bari is part of a new crop of 21st century American heroes who are so desperately needed.❤❤❤
By lying and playing a victim to justify the genocide? True hero, really...
@@nebo2073genocide?....really?
Absolutely agree
@@nebo2073 you didnt listen to it
@@ULINEgoit is a bot
Bari Weiss is the best of the best of American Jewry and America
Speak for yourself. We've had enough of your mediocrity.
Then the standard is very low.......
She’s the opposite of everything you just spewed.
It’s antisemitic to admit there is such a thing as “Jewry”
@@intelligence_123no doubt the 123 is all the intelligence you could fit in your pea brain- shes pro freedom- and if you're anti freedom or a bigot id got a lovely reality check id love to see you cash
Outstanding lecture!!! Just outstanding!
Bari Weiss is American in the truest sense of the word. Thank you BW. 💚
She is anti free speech and tried to get college professors fired years before it became popular. She is not a good American.

I am so glad to live in an era with Bari Weiss, her cunning wit and elegant speech. I don’t always agree with her, but I’m glad she’s providing a voice of bravery and hope to many who are feeling afraid and hopeless because of what we’ve allowed our societies to become.
Terrific speech that is so to the point!
These days it is hard to find people brave enough to speak the truth in the face of all the lies.
❤
I am a Christian but the Jewish people are my people. I love you and support you with all my being. Day and night.

Thank you
Same, I was brought up Catholic in Tolkien Territory in England through grammar schools, via English and Irish bloodlines. Sauron was a good guy really if you look more carefully. We are the exact same people and there is no coincidence.
Why can’t all innocent people be ‘your people’. Wasn’t the point of the Parable of the Good Samaritan that even your enemy is your neighbor?
@@Philosophyrules77 all respect freedom and cherish life- the way of the heart is guided
Thank you Bari. You have been speaking out in defense of our people for years and continue to do so.
Love this woman.

The rolls on her neck DESTROY me! Ah, the chubby, brainy Jew Babe! Let me be the Hugh Hefner of THAT magazine! Castle in Miami!!
Bari Weis is quickly showing that she is an important voice and a deep, clear thinker. I had never heard of her until the NYTIMES canceled her. Now, I anticipate new writings and speeches from her with great eagerness. She puts concepts that I ruminate over into concise, clear expressions that help me greatly. God bless her. May her voice grow in volume and clarity.
As a spiritual goes - Don't You Let Nobody Turn You 'round Bari ‼️
May God bless you Bari..you are a great American!
Thank you
Historical magnitude speech. Love you Bari❤

Amazing speech and discussion. TFP and Bari have done so much for this country.
Amazing, so to the point, now we hope “THEY WILL HEAR YOU AND US”🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a great speech.. I can't imagine speaking so powerfully for so long.
I’m watching with the tears running down my face. I look up to Bari with veneration and love. I stand for and with Israel as I always have. Always will.
😢❤
She brings me to tears every time she speaks.
😢❤
Because of the lies?
Love you Barri !!!!
Bari speaks so eloquently. She's become an icon in the Jewish world. If you don't already, please subscribe to The Free Press.
She's an icon for many, including us non-Jews as well. For anyone who values an open society.
Not just a Jewish icon. We all love her
Pittsburgh takes great pride in one of its own daughters , Bari Weiss. No one in America today speaks to the hopes and fears of Americans today with the clarity and honesty as Bari does. This speech should be read in all high schools, colleges, and churches. Her understanding of courage and freedom should be reminders to those of us who remain silent as our country burns.
She is a Zionist.
She is a joke who is openly mocked. Did she ever find out what toady means?? Hahahahaha
You are a treasure to America
You are a treasure for every enlightened person
You are a huge treasure for world Jewry.
Love Bari Weiss and what she stands for. Thank from a proud Jew from Colombia. 🇮🇱🇮🇱
Playing the victim?

"To be free, is to tell the truth even in a world over come by lies" B Weiss Feb '24
I also feel honored to be Jewish. I try to gently educate people when I work in an office that doesn't know anything about Judaism. I am active in my synagogue and did all I could to support Israel and the IDF, especially after Oct. 7th. Our Rabbi led a book group with Barri's book on fighting anti-Semitism. I know that I have cousins that I have never met in Israel. I consider Jews all over the world part of my extended family and although I have very limited resources, I do all I can to help. We must always be there for each other.
Amen 🙏🤍💙
To be a Jew means to help others feel at ease in the world.
As Joseph in Egypt chosen to serve others
chosen to help others make their way in the world
chosen to sustain the world
chosen to serve -not to be served
A monumental speech that will be quoted and referenced for years to come. Thank you Bari for your courage and willingness to call out the virus of illiberalism for the vile filth it is. Your bravery is inspiring.
Thank you Bari, we are desperate for your words.
😢❤
God Bless you, Bari! Amazing speech, so needed. Wish more would hear it.
It is ignorance and a lack of appreciation of what one has been blessed with. You are the chosen people!
We need a "teacher" who can explain the reason that we must continue to respect freedom for all and understand how important this is . Thank you You are the one who teaches with compassion.
Love love love listening to her talk
Tucker Carlson explained why he showed the subway station in Moscow on Glenn Beck's show. He showed it to make Americans look at themselves and their environment. It was a reminder that it is on us to make our homes clean and beautiful. It's not a choice for Russians. It is a choice for us. We choose filth. We choose dangerous criminals running amuck. That's not a demagogue. That's a mirror.
Roland Fryer gave bari the best description of topics considered controversial. I'm glad she expressed it in her afterinterview.
26:00 This is so true. I spent 15 years studying music composition at some of the best music schools in the country and gave up on that career for a decent paying job fixing people's email because even 5 years ago I could see the writing on the wall that as a man, as a Jew, and as someone who refuses to lie about my beliefs I would be locked out of fairly competing for jobs and opportunities. And what breaks my heart is that even if we manage to fix this anti-liberal culture in the arts, it will be too late for the dreams I gave up on.
Most of us Jews in our Ivy League music composition graduate program somehow didn't graduate - just frozen out without enough financial aid and no one caring about our work. I don't think any went on to a faculty position. I had a paid career mostly in the tech industry and taught music at some community colleges part time. Now composition is a field for the wealthy who can afford the expensive gear and software tools and who can afford to pay orchestras or smaller groups to play their music. That's how it works nowadays, the composer paying an amount for each performer. And it's never enough to ensure adequate rehearsal time.
Tov bishvelach, Bari. So sad to see some of the things happening. All the best.
The more I listen to her, the more I am awed by her!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful analysis, for honesty and fearless fight for freedom! Let it be G-d will to bless you. 🙏
Thank you for allowing me to understand (minute 50). It's not an alliance; it's a power grab.
An honor for you to be invited to speak at this forum. A honoroable woman speaking honorably. Congrats!
… yes 52:27
October 8, 9 Monday, 10 Tuesday… deafening silence
Even the sounds of profound grief could not be heard…
It was like a twilight zone…
Bari Weiss speaks for us all
Thank you Bari! Great speech!
This is a great lecture. I’m proud to be Jewish and always will stand for Israel and its heroes.
I too am in awe of this woman. Thank you so much.
May you both be onstage at the 200th anniversary of the 92Y
Bari thank you as ever. Thankful for you being out there. One day maybe I will relate to you my Tree of Life experience.
Would like more said ..your lovely guest raised it ...the business of fawning. Please. I see too much of this in Boston area. My POV very unpopular here.
Love you. ❤
There are few people who consistently impress me. Bari Weiss is at the top of my list. She impressively combines her values, her love for the truth, her intellect, and her communication skills into well-reasoned positions.
Courageous not controversial!!!!

USA is fortunate to have these people as its citizens
They love America and work hard to make it even better.
"the brittle is the fence that separates civilization from barbarism" is a thing and a state of mind (and great quote by Bari). The mainstream media promotes conflict for profit, Americans who opt for prejudice instead of knowledge. The fence is very brittle, more and more, everywhere, indeed. Americans need to be led back to the idea of America, as Lincoln proposed with charity to all. And with Langston Hughes' poem as a North Star.
The rabbi pointing out that Aaron was once a slave and Moses was not is really important to understand.
The Levite tribe weren’t slaves.
Doing the best work of your life. Thank you.
❤Im Christian as a ex Jehovahs Witness upstanding that we were both fellow brother and sisters were in German Concentration Camp so I have deep friendships for the Jewish people. Great speech love Jerrard
Amazing speech, bravo. 👏👏👏
I listen to this 2-3 times a day 🙏🙏🙏
She's something special.
I am a converted Jew (33 years ago) and an atheist and an admirer of the Jewish faith and culture and the mother of two Jewish girls and I am worried about my girls. I have been a subscriber to Bari's everything since Day 1 and I cried throughout this address ~ NOT just for Jews and Israel, but for all of us in America who think we are still free and are not seeing the incredible threat to that freedom, NO MATTER who you are, Jew, non Jew, atheist, Christian.
It makes two of us who cries a lot for our beloved country (USA) and for our freedom. I am a political/Jewish refugee from USSR (1989) and I naively thought that I escaped from USSR and its communism forever...Little did I know that the phantom of it's idiocy will catch me here, in USA. Awful.
I'm worried, too. I'm not Jewish but an atheist living in growing Muslim community.... It's getting worse and worse. A few days ago, Islamists set a school building (a portable, but it was on a weekend so it was empty) on fire and wrote down anti-gay and pro-Palestine messages on the walls. I'm not sure if I can raise my kid here...
We're Egyptian Jews who had to leave Alexandria in the 50's. There were almost a million Jews in the Arab Middle East who were kicked out of the countries we've lived in for thousands of years b4 Islam. We are the natives in the Middle East and nobody brings this up.
@aerialmarketing. I’m Jewish, from Canada. I didn’t learn about this expulsion until I was in my 20s. I’m a senior now. I was horrified and outraged.
There are a lot of ignorant comments online made by people who know nothing of us yet feel free to pass judgment.
I point out the expulsion of the North African Jews and I am met with “you’re lying”
The willing ignorance of these people is enraging. And they toss these labels like colonizers and oppressors around as if they know what it’s like to experience it.
I really fear for this world if these are future leaders.
Bari Weiss is a national treasure.
Bari Weiss Thank you for your voice Thank you for your stand...I look forward for you to do more... be a leader... take a stand and lead American ✡️
I dont usually comment.
Im Israeli, and thats one of the best speeches I've heard, mirrors to me a lot of things in the society here.
Bari is an absolute legend. Agree with everything she said (as always).
God bless, and keep speaking the truth.
Peter Judaism is full of depth and Wisdom!!!!
WOW..Thank you both. ❤
I have never stood up and applauded a speech i watched on RUclips... Until today.
This is so moving. Goosebumps and near tears at various parts. Well done, Bari. I'm not Jewish but this speech spoke to me.
Bari Weiss is a blessing & has become a rock star since Oct 7th.

Your moral compass is so finely tuned Bari - thank you Lioness of Judah🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
