SHABBAT READING Korah Took…: Prof. Haim (Howard) Kreisel, The Torah.com, June 22, 2023 — After the punishment of the wilderness generation for the sin of the scouts, Korah, a Levite, leads a group of people in an uprising against Moses.[1] Their complaint seems straightforward and reasonable: במדבר טז:ג וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ עַל מֹשֶׁה וְעַל אַהֲרֹן וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵהֶם רַב לָכֶם […]
Matthew Kassel Jewish Insider, June 1, 2023 “KC Johnson, a professor of American history at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center, believes the strategy “left unresolved” whether Biden officials are “willing to confront hardline critics of Israel whose words or actions stray into antisemitism.” The administration now has “an example of this,” Johnson told […]
Armin Rosen Tablet, July 1, 2022 ‘It is not a stretch to wonder if a pro-Zionist diversity bureaucrat is an ideological contradiction in terms.” Of all the signs that the Jewish community’s political influence has waned in New York City, perhaps none has been as stark as the City University of New York’s frequent […]
Benjamin Kerstein JNS, June 5, 2023 “CUNY’s systemic antisemitism has been a problem for the better part of a decade, and up to now, no one did a thing about it.” It was the devout hope of many of us in the trenches that, sooner or later, the City University of New York (CUNY) […]

Climate affects us all, racism affects millions of us, but genuine gender dysphoria is extremely rare. And yet the obsession […]
Stuart Kyle Duncan WSJ, Mar. 17, 2023 “Whereupon Ms. Steinbach opened a folio, took out a printed sheaf of papers, and delivered a six-minute speech addressing the question: “Is the juice worth the squeeze?”” Stanford Law School’s website touts its “collegial culture” in which “collaboration and the open exchange of ideas are essential to life and learning.” […]
Daniel McCarthy NY Post, Mar. 12, 2023 “The capture of American higher education by students and administrators with a Maoist mentality has caused a great deal of soul-searching among moderates and conservatives.” A university president never enjoys being forced to apologize, especially to a conservative.
