Navigating the challenges of being Jewish on campus

Are you starting your college search? Or about to commit to your top choice for next year?

Join Temple Sinai on Sunday, April 2, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., for an important presentation by StandWithUs to help Jewish students navigate the challenges they may face on today’s college campuses.

The discussion will be led by Josh Warhit, Northeast High School Coordinator for StandWithUs. It will include positive steps to take on campus, and how to respond to Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) and other challenges on campus.

Warhit holds a bachelor’s degree in international relations and religion and served two years in the Israel Defense Forces before joining StandWithUs. He has spoken with thousands of students and community members.

Programs include campus leadership training, college student fellowships, teen internships for high schoolers and an Israeli fellows program.
