SHABBAT READING: The Closeness of God: Ki Tissa: Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Covenant & Conservation, 5776, 5783 — The more I study the Torah, the more conscious I become of the immense mystery of Exodus 33.

Annette Poisoner Times of Israel, July 27, 2022 “We are learning about … students, forced to write papers that parrot the ideologies taught in school, finding themselves betraying their Jewish values or risk being mocked for expressing perspectives which differ from the school party line.” A recent study analyzes the Twitter feeds of 741 Diversity, Equity & […]
Dion J. Pierre Algemeiner, Feb. 27, 2023 “Further research is required to better understand the lived experience of these students, the stressors they face, and the extent of the problems such as those identified herein.

Richard Klagsbrun Aish, No Date “Students are in a vulnerable position and dread officially attaching their name to complaints against a professor in a program like Social Work.
