students on Sunday night to “push them out of camp.” The incident occurred the day before the Jewish Passover holiday began.. “A human blockade of hundreds at Columbia approaches a small group of Jewish students while saying ‘one step forward… push them out of the camp’ in perfect unison.

First, on Sunday morning, a Columbia University rabbi encouraged Jewish students to leave school and go home until the campus was considered safe, “It deeply pains me to say that I would strongly recommend you return home as soon as possible and remain home until the reality in and around campus has dramatically improved,” Orthodox Union Jewish Learning Initiative on Campus director rabbi Elie Buechler “It is not our job as Jews to ensure our own safety on campus.
Head of Columbia/Barnard Kraft Center for Jewish Life emails students “It is unacceptable that I need to send this email in 2024” but: NYPD will be at the Kraft Center through Passover & Public Safety will provide escorts to/from Kraft Center for anyone attending the Seder“As Passover quickly approaches, we know that many Jewish students will remain on campus for the holiday,” a screenshot of the email read.
