By Amy Zewe— What can you do to help curtail the growing cancer of antisemitism and antizionism on college campues across the US, Canada, and UK? The first thing is to become aware of what is going on. In California, for example, K-12 curriculums are being instituted that would water down or otherwise eliminate the…
We have enjoyed this past weekend with the onset of Passover and the observance of Easter, starting with the solemness of Good Friday.
