Charles Lipson Sapir Journal, Autumn 2024 “How can Jews be hated and harassed in the name of social justice?” The open, virulent, and sometimes violent eruption of antisemitism at elite universities may be the most daunting social challenge faced by American Jews since the Ku Klux Klan’s antisemitic campaign in the 1960s. The Klan had […]
Sabrina Soffer Algemeiner, Dec. 19, 2024 “Students like myself have sought to educate rather than expose administrators for their ignorance and negligible indifference.” How does one become a “Good Jew?” What is the ideal response in the face of hatred?
