Antisemitism: Will recent events on campus influence where you (your child) will apply?

There might also be trade-offs. S23 goes to a large school with a small Jewish presence. I appreciate that the admin had an appropriate response to 10/7 and that there hasn’t been any antisemitic or pro-Hamas activity on campus, however, Jewish parents just recently created their own FB page to see if they can increase the opportunities for Jewish life on campus. While there is a Hillel and Chabad, those are probably the only places you are going to see anything Jewish recognized on campus and maybe even in the surrounding community. It’s fine with my child who doesn’t do much to embrace his Jewish identity, but might feel very different for a student coming from a very active Jewish community.
