Join us for the first part of this two-part episode! Noa Fay, a recent college student whose efforts have garnered respect from teens all over the country, was a Jewish student leader at Columbia University, the epicenter of the anti-Israel protest movement that unfolded on American college campuses this past spring. Pro-Hamas, antisemitic, and anti-Israel demonstrators occupied academic buildings, set up overnight tent encampments, and staged demonstrations, all while Jewish students faced increased threats, antisemitism, and violence.
Noa will share her first-hand perspective, a perspective experienced by many high school and college students, on what it was like to be Jewish on campus during that time and offer insights into both what to look for when considering schools and how to respond should something similar happen on your campus.
