Rabbi Yakov Menken: Harvard's defense of antisemitism is unconscionable
Rabbi Yakov Menken, executive vice president of the Coalition for Jewish Values, says it seems the Harvard administration has decided to protect antisemitism rather than reach a reasonable agreement with Jewish students. “The idea that that campus should be conducive to Jewish life when they are gathering around visibly Orthodox students just to harass them for being Jews is unconscionable,” he says. “And the fact that the university would expect funding from the Trump administration while it remains that hostile to Jewish students is similarly unconscionable.”
