We are so proud of how our students handled last night's protest and disruption of our Israel event. We are disappointed that the protestors called for “intifada,” which suggests an endorsement of violence. We worked closely with campus, local, and national partners to put plans in place that protected the safety of our students and the security of the event. We greatly appreciate the partners who kept spaces safe for students' voices to be heard.
UMBC Hillel is committed to cultivate opportunities for students to explore how Israel impacts their Jewish identity. Please feel free to reach out to Rabbi Jeremy: rabbijeremy@umbc.edu
