Due in part to his published statements in 1933-1934, Jung fell into disrepute with many Jews in Europe and Palestine (Israel). In a series of essays and letters written from Tel Aviv in 1934, James Kirsch, one of Jung’s first German-Jewish followers, defended him energetically against accusations of anti-Semitism. Kirsch argued that Jung’s early encounters with Freud had given him a distorted, “exilic” view of Judaism. He maintained that Jung’s psychology, not Freud’s, offered healing to modern Jews tragically cut off from The Holy, which has always spoken in dreams and other communications from the unconscious
