Amid Rising Antisemitism, Jewish Life Is Surging on U.S. Campuses
(Jerusalem Post) Yossy Gordon - Jewish students are seeking meaning, rootedness, something quieter and more lasting than the next headline. Across 950 universities, students have been showing up at Chabad on Campus in growing numbers: not just to eat, but to feel, ask questions, remember who they are, and figure out what being Jewish actually means to them, outside of politics, headlines, and hashtags. Oct. 7 revealed something to many young Jews: how deeply their Jewish identity matters to them. They want to feel part of something larger and more enduring than their online profile or their politics. We have to offer more than responses to antisemitism. We need to offer something to live for, not just something to fight against. The writer, a rabbi, is CEO of Chabad on Campus International.
