In the last five years, amid the racial reckoning in the US, the pandemic, economic challenges, and the October 7 attacks on Israel, the Jews of Color Initiative (JoCI) has made steady progress toward our vision of a Jewish community that reflects racial equity and diversity and centers the leadership of Jews of Color (JoC). Now in our seventh year, we are beyond the start-up phase of an organization, those first few years of organizational infancy when a few easy wins are often to be had. We are increasingly aware that supporting serious research is strategically vital for advancement and growth in our field.

Hundreds of University of California, Berkeley students, professors, and community members marched through the campus on Monday to assert Jewish visibility and presence following an attack last month on Jewish students attending a talk by an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier. Starting at Zellerbach Hall on the south side of campus, the marchers, clad in white shirts symbolizing peace and transparency, heard a speech by UC Berkeley Center for Jewish Studies director Ethan Katz, who linked their fight against antisemitism to the US civil rights movement of the 1960s. Proceeding from there, they walked north, attempting to reach California Hall via a footbridge leading from Sather Gate.

At the 96th Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday night, British-Jewish director Jonathan Glazer, whose film, The Zone of Interest, had just won the Oscar for Best International Feature, made a somewhat garbled statement critical of the Israeli governments policy, conflating the Occupation with the Holocaust. Many Israeli officials and Jewish leaders criticized the statement, but some Jews in Hollywood actually cheered it. Thats because he did what so few who have criticized Israels decision to respond militarily to Hamass October 7 attack on Israel in which about 1,200 Israelis were murdered (and raped, burned, dismembered, and tortured) and 240 were taken hostage have done: He mentioned the victims of October 7 in Israel.

(March 7, 2024 / JNS) Tufts University is investigating reports of some extremely disturbing antisemitic words and conduct directed at Jewish students who opposed anti-Israel resolutions in the student government and Islamophobic actions against students who supported them. The school will hold accountable any student found to have engaged in these behaviors, wrote the university president and other senior academic officials. Let us be entirely clear: Antisemitic and Islamophobic words and actions are entirely unacceptable and should be met with condemnation from the entire community, regardless of your perspective on the resolutions, they added
