Description
A conversation on what victory really means.
Featuring Bret Stephens, New York Times columnist & Pulitzer Prize winner, and Dr. Rachel Fish, Brandeis University
In today’s polarized climate, college campuses have become a battleground for ideas where questions of identity, free speech, and antisemitism collide. Now that Israel has won the war, antisemitism is not going anywhere anytime soon—and misinformation continues to spread—so where do we go from here?
Join us for a critical and timely conversation exploring how Jewish students are navigating this complex landscape and what’s at stake for the future of higher education and open discourse.
This event will feature a fireside chat between two of the leading voices on this issue:
Bret Stephens is a Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist for The New York Times, known for his sharp analysis of politics, culture, and global affairs. He is a longtime advocate for intellectual freedom and a vocal critic of antisemitism in public life.
Dr. Rachel Fish is a scholar and activist who has spent over two decades confronting contemporary antisemitism and strengthening Jewish identity and leadership, particularly among students and educators.
Together, they will explore the rising hostility toward Jewish students on campus, the weaponization of language around Israel and Zionism, and the growing challenges to free expression in academic spaces.
This is a must-attend event for parents, students, educators, and community members concerned with the climate on college campuses today and the future of Jewish life, civil discourse, and moral clarity in education.
