‼️ We interrupt this Substack to share an important message.‼️
Jewish kids continue to be harrassed at universities. Jewish people continue to be attacked, slandered, threatened, and intimidated. IT IS NOT OKAY. Antisemitism and antisemitic acts are not okay.
As a Jewish Yale alum, this particularly sickened me this morning. But it’s something, every single day. I may not post about it constantly, but I ingest it endlessly.

Passover starts tomorrow night. We tell the stories to prevent them from reoccurring. We do not want to be packing up dough and fleeing. Next year in…. ? Where is safe?
Please protect your loved ones. And speak out. We know how this has played out in the past.
And if by chance, your kids, friends, classmates, followers, or colleagues are the perpetrators of this rhetoric, please talk to them. Try. You have power. You do!
Remind them that religious or racial persecution of any type to any group is not justified — no matter what. Can’t we at least all agree on THAT?
Yes, you have a platform. Yes, your voice will make a difference. In your community. In your conversations. In your feed.
Make. It. Stop. 🛑 We have to try. Please. 🙏 💙‼️
And now, back to our Substack.
I continue to be horrified and outraged over these acts of violence and terrorism frankly of Jews and the situation on campuses. Regardless of whether Jewish or not we should all be standing against this kind of hate.
Glad you posted and asked each person to reflect and speak out
