Shabbos Kestenbaum was a grad student at Harvard Divinity School in the fall of 2023. He was there to get an education from one of the most prestigious institutions on earth. The education he got, was not what he came for.
On October 7, 2023, Shabbos, an observant Jew, was astounded by the anti-Israel and deeply antisemitic vitriol that consumed Harvard within hours of the unspeakable atrocities that were committed by Hamas against the Jewish State of Israel.
The university broke out in a horrible rash of antisemitic and threatening demonstrations not just against Israel, but against the Jewish students and faculty on campus, as well. Despite pleas to the Harvard Administration to step in and take action to stop the threats, Shabbos was ignored.
Shortly thereafter, Harvard University President Claudine Gay uttered the famous words to Congress: calling for the genocide of Jews at Harvard was to be tolerated, "depending on the context."
Well, Gay lost her job and now Harvard finds itself being sued by a group of Jewish students--led by Kestenbaum--for violating Title VI and their rights to be protected on campus.
In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Shabbos Kestenbaum discuss what it was like to be a student at Harvard in 2023/24, the implications of the administrations' inaction to defend its Jewish community, and why Shabbos ultimately decided to sue the university.
If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't understand what the campus encampments, demonstrations, and violence mean for the future of higher learning, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the rampant antisemitism on our college campuses, how schools are fostering a climate of intimidation against Jews, and why everyone should care.
