Journalism by Jewish college students, for Jewish college students.
A local Jewish college student on the front lines of BDS recently boiled eggs on his AIPAC-sticker-laden laptop using the raw energy of online Israel-Palestine-related hot takes. Jake Zucker, of rural New York City, New York, said he wasn’t sure what to do when his stovetop stopped working. “Man, I need a high-protein breakfast if…
1. Try out some terrible Jewish pick-up lines on your Jew-boo. Jewish pick-up lines are consistently cringe-worthy. We all know this. But they’re a great way to test the strength of your relationship. (Don’t try these on strangers… Just don’t.) If your person sticks around through these pick-up lines, you know you two can weather…
This just in, Jewish millennials. Young Jews increasingly feel distanced from Israel due to a perceived conflict of values, warned the CEO and director-general of the Jewish Agency Alan Hoffman last week. He concluded that Israel is losing young American Jews in an “extremely worrisome” trend, requiring a new approach. “I think it’s very important that…

It’s no secret that the war for Israel currently has two fronts: the Middle East and American university campuses. Jewish students feel increasingly threatened and intimidated by anti-Israel activity on campus that too often crosses the line into anti-Semitism, as seen recently in incidents at UC Davis and UCLA. All people concerned with the…
“Middle ground is just another word for failure. I do NOT want to make a deal! We deserve it all!” That’s the philosophy of the “NO-gotiatior,” a man who wants to teach you how to make the power of “No” work in your life. It got me to thinking: What advice might the NO-Gotiator…
“We’re done apologizing; we love Israel; we’re joining Jewish Home!” So goes the smart-alecky, unavoidable, possibly un-Jewish, and certainly controversial video released by Naftali Bennett’s Jewish Home (HaBeit HaYehudi) party in preparation for the upcoming Israeli elections. The party – and Bennett, of course – advocates a right-wing, ultra-nationalist agenda: annexing 60% of the West…

The proof in the nationalist pudding, it seems, is a lessening support for Israel among American youth. It seems that non-Jewish teenagers and young adults associate Israel a little too much with the over…

The #YesAllWomen meme has been one of the most transformative moments in the history of social media, and it’s been exciting to watch the long-overdue conversations it has inspired unfold across all media platforms.
