The intense missile barrage by Iran against Israel has hit Weizmann Institute , where many of our family members study or work, many of our alums have studied & many of us have collaborated with colleagues & presented. We are praying for our Israeli family. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…

We join אוניברסיטת חיפה in mourning the death of law student Shada Khatib, 20, of Tamra, along with her mother, sister and aunt. We recently visited Haifa on our faculty & staff mission trip. The Iranian attacks threaten all Israelis, including, Jews, Christians, Muslims and Druze.

Join Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies @ Columbia Co-Director Rebecca Kobrin and former Columbia University visiting faculty member avi shilon for an in-depth conversation about Israel at war with Iran on Wednesday, June 18 at 12 PM ET. Register here: iijs.columbia.edu/upcoming-events


Mazal tov to our brilliant and resilient colleagues at Weizmann Institute ! Columbia Jewish & Israeli Students ✡️🇮🇱 Columbia Jewish Alumni Assoc.


We are thinking about and praying for all of our colleagues and students Technion Israel with Iran threatening the student center. Stay safe!

We are optimistic about this first step for Columbia University restoring its relationship with the federal government.

Here, we worry about decades of research being reversed due to federal funding freezes. In Israel ישראל, they have to deal with actual destruction of research facilities by a tyrannical regime. May we see better days ahead. Columbia Jewish & Israeli Students ✡️🇮🇱 Columbia Jewish Alumni Assoc. Documenting Jew Hatred on Campus at Columbia U

Strong article by the chairman of Morrison Cohen Y. David Scharf and former NY Court of Appeals Judge Hon. David B. Saxe (ret.) on governance issues Columbia University - they are right to call out the University Senate's refusal to issue discipline as hugely responsible for this mess.


We’re looking forward to hearing from our colleague, Columbia | SIPA professor נדב איל Nadav Eyal next week

We are thinking of our colleagues and students Tel Aviv University at this incredibly difficult time. We are especially concerned about our students in the dual degree Columbia University Tel Aviv University program and are praying for peace.
