Jewish Students Embrace Bridge-Building Amid Rising Antisemitism
In response to increasing antisemitism in the U.S., Jewish students are adopting a 'bridge-building' approach that balances inward community investment with outward civic engagement. This method, highlighted in a study by the Bronfman Fellowship and the Collaborative for Applied Studies in Jewish Education, involves fostering understanding across differences without the intent to change minds. Students engage in dialogues that promote genuine understanding, often occurring in informal settings like dining halls. This approach is rooted in Jewish traditions of debate and unresolved discussions, encouraging students to embrace complexity and uncertainty.
