Campus Antisemitism: A Defining Challenge for Higher Education
Join us for a conversation on antisemitism in higher education, with particular focus on Harvard.
Features ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and Dr. Alisa Feldman (Director of Research at the ADL Ratings and Assessments Institute), moderated by HJAA Co-founder and President Adrian Ashkenazy. Come hear an update on the current state of antisemitism on college campuses, and a discussion of how to continue fighting it and supporting Jewish individuals in academia and in broader society.
Join Harvard’s Rabbi Hirschy Zarchi (Chabad) and Rabbi Jason Rubenstein (Hillel) for meaningful reflection on the past year and a vision for 5787. This interactive event features rabbi-led breakout rooms and conversation.
Presented in coordination with the Harvard Business School Jewish Alumni Association, the Harvard Law School Association Jewish Alumni Network, Harvard Faculty for Israel, and the broader Ivy alumni community.
A tremendous voice of clarity regarding Israel, Federal Judge Altman will visit Harvard this fall. In his most recent book – Israel on Trial – Altman uses legal argument to debunk the six big lies being peddled about Israel today. He applies courtroom-tested standards of ‘burden of proof,’ ‘corroboration,’ and ‘chain of custody’ in discrediting claims of colonialism, apartheid, and genocide.
Judge Altman will speak at 7pm, after a buffet kosher Chinese dinner at 6pm. We will also coordinate regional watch parties to bring HJAA members together in person.

David Harris doesn’t mince words: the old strategies for defending Israel and the Jewish people are no longer enough. The man Shimon Peres called ‘the foreign minister of the Jewish people’ — and the most decorated Jewish organizational leader in U.S. history — will lay out what effective advocacy looks like now. Join us to meet, mingle and get inspired.
