We've all seen the photos and heard the chants. Anti-Israel sentiment and rhetoric are flourishing on college campuses. How did we get here and what can be done?

Providing important new insights and perspectives, Hadassah Magazine Executive Editor Lisa Hostein speaks with scholar and writer Izabella Tabarovsky, author of Be a Refusenik!: A Jewish Student’s Survival Guide, and Shai Davidai, Israeli activist and former assistant professor at Columbia Business School whose new book is American Intellectual Antisemitism: The Anti-Jewish Movement Tearing Through Our Universities.

Sephardic and Mizrahi Perspectives on the American Jewish Experience
Sephardic Jews are a minority within a minority in the United States. Too often they have been overshadowed by the majority Ashkenazi community, despite the success of high-profile personalities, including entertainers like Law & Order actor Jerry Orbach and pop singer Paula Abdul, and historical figures such as early 20th-century Supreme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo and 19th-century poet Emma Lazarus. Like other American Jews, they arrived as refugees — in fact arrived before their Ashkenazi counterparts — and forced to carve out new lives for themselves and their children by working hard, learning English and becoming “American.” Hadassah Magazine Deputy Editor Libby Barnea hosts a discussion with three women shining a light on the Sephardic and Mizrahi experience in the United States.Syrian Jewish writer Esther Chehebar, author of the best-selling novel Sisters of Fortune and a co-host of the new podcast GOLDA Girls; Sara Levin, executive director of JIMENA, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that advocates for Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, who has Turkish Jewish roots; and Rozeeta Mavashev, North America executive director of Masa Israel, who is of Bukharian Jewish descent, share their Sephardic and Mizrahi perspectives as well as stories of how their experiences have contributed to, and evolved in, America over time.
