Sometimes, it feels as though an eternity of enemies await us. But as Jews, we must still find ways to exude Jewish joy and access Jewish resilience. 

Disparaging the professorate due to the disgraceful actions of a few is just plain wrong.  

Especially since Oct. 7, it’s been critically important for the Jewish community to come together and be unified.

It is important to expose and combat antisemitism and anti-Zionism with all our might. But is our messaging unwittingly actually leading to an increase in Jew-hatred?

Last week’s resignation of Columbia President Minouche Safik after the ongoing turmoil at that school and the decision by a federal judge the same day that UCLA must forbid protesters from denying Jewish students equal access to campus spaces and events served as twin reminders of the challenges that we will face again in the months ahead.
