In episode 153 - recorded about two weeks ago - of the RZ Weekly Podcast, we tackle the pressing issue of how Orthodox Jewish students deal with overt antisemitism on secular college campuses. We discuss the harrowing experiences of many these students who have been singled out and threatened in response to the war in Gaza., and examine the challenges they face and the resilience many display in confronting prejudice. We also wonder whether Orthodox Jews should attend these institutions, considering the potential impact on their religious and personal lives, and what motivates Orthodox students to continue to flock to them even in the coming year.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED? Following the Iranian drone and ballistic missile attack on Israel, the RZWeekly team came together to discuss how they are processing that event, and how they are trying to connect to the mood of Pesach despite all the many other things going on.
