In this episode Shai and guests Eden and Lisha discuss their experiences as Jewish and pro-Israel advocates on campus, particularly in the context of rising anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiments. Eden and Lisha share their personal journeys and the challenges they face in maintaining their Jewish identity and Zionist beliefs amidst a hostile environment. They discuss the formation and roles of two student organizations: Student Supporting Israel (SSI) and Aria, which aim to advocate for Israel and educate students about Jewish and Israeli issues. The conversation highlights the difficulties of engaging in dialogue with opposing groups, the impact of anti-Semitic rhetoric on campus, and the importance of education and advocacy in combating misinformation and prejudice. The episode also touches on the broader implications of these campus dynamics, including the role of faculty and administration in addressing discrimination and supporting free speech. Eden and Lisha emphasize the need for Jewish students to stand up for their rights and the importance of building alliances with non-Jewish allies. Join us as we shed light on these critical conversations and work towards a future free from hate. 🔔 Subscribe now and never miss an episode 📢 Follow us on social media: Instagram: hereiamwithshaidavidai https://www.instagram.com/hereiamwithshaidavidai?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Tik Tok: hereiamwithshaidavidai https://www.tiktok.com/@hereiamwithshaidavidai 🎧 Listen to the full episode on your favorite podcast platform: RSS: https://rss.com/podcasts/hereiamwithshaidavidai Apple Podcasts: https://rss.com/podcasts/hereiamwithshaidavidai/ Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shai-davidai #HereIAmPodcast #JewishIdentity, #CampusActivism, #ProIsrael, #AntiSemitism, #ColumbiaUniversity, #StudentAdvocacy, #JewishPride, #FreeSpeech, #CampusLife, #MiddleEastStudies, #Zionism, #JewishStudents, #October7th, #IsraelAdvocacy, #JewishCommunity, #CampusProtests, #JewishLeaders, #StudentVoices, #JewishHeritage, #EducationalActivism.
