Arrr matey! Fer the young Jewish swabs in high school, the rise o' antisemitism be makin' 'em yearn fer camaraderie and kinship, not to mention makin' their choices o’ colleges as tangled as a seaweed net! Aye, they be seekin' safe harbors in stormy waters!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn 'bout the treacherous tides of antisemitism that be a-risin' across the land, makin’ even wee scallywags in school feel the heat. After a dastardly raid by Hamas, the seas be stormy for our young Jewish mateys, from the tiniest kindergartener to those brash high schoolers.The good sailors at the Department of Education have opened a bellyful of cases—159 in total—regardin' discrimination in schools, a far cry from the mere 28 cases they handled before the storm kicked up. Meanwhile, our brave Jewish Student Union, led by the valiant Devora Simon, be seein’ a surge of 4,000 new young buccaneers leavin' the harbor for havens of community and connection! They’ve set sail with 125 new clubs this year, supportin’ their kin in these choppy waters.
But alas! Not all be smooth sailin'. Young Sarah, once the captain of her JSU ship, witnessed her crew dwindle from 15 to 6, only to rise again after rallyin’ local politicians. Meanwhile, hopeful college-goers like Yael's lads are spooked, worried their ships won’t find safe harbors in the land of academia. They be searchin’ for Chabad and Hillel, lest they end up in treacherous waters swarmed by antisemitic sea monsters!
