Throughout this Passover holiday—a time to celebrate Jewish liberation from oppression—horrific scenes of antisemitic rhetoric, harassment, glorification of terrorism and violence, and protests have been unfolding on campuses across the U.S. Locally, encampments have been launched on campuses, including MIT, Tufts, Emerson College, and Harvard here in Greater Boston. Jewish students, faculty, and campus leaders are being targeted and they are terrified. They need our support and our love.
