What’s it like being a Jewish student at Harvard today? With us to tell their firsthand accounts are Nitsan Machlis, co-chair of the Harvard Kennedy School Jewish Caucus, and Shabbos Kestenbaum, a Harvard Divinity school student who is part of a group that sued the university–alleging that they failed to address campus antisemitism.
On October 7, Tal Shimony went from dancing in a field at the Supernova Music Festival to running for her life as the site was attacked by Hamas terrorists. Tal guides us through what she witnessed that morning and the exhibit 'Nova 6.29,' where the community aims to tell their story and honor those killed and taken hostage.
By working with students, and high school administrators, AJC High School Affairs is creating a stronger environment for the Jewish community within secondary schools, before students arrive on campus, and beyond.
