Students
We hear from Jewish students nearly every day about their concerns about rising antisemitism on campus. University leaders need to hear from you. ADL is here to offer support, resources, and ways to galvanize students to call for change.
Celebrate Jewish Joy through Shabbat
At a time of rising antisemitism on campus, ADL is working with Jewish Life campus organizations on a nationwide initiative encouraging college students to celebrate Jewish joy through Shabbat. Shabbat is a time to slow down, listen and reflect. Since October 7, this tradition has been needed more than ever, providing a weekly reminder of the importance of connecting with and supporting each other. We urge you to share in this timeless tradition. Whether you seek out a Shabbat dinner organized by Jewish Life campus organizations or organize one with friends, take time to celebrate Jewish pride.

Questions When Considering a College
There is more than one right school for everyone, and what that right place is depends on many factors. Here is a set of suggested questions students can ask about a university’s commitment to no tolerance for antisemitism and what it has done to further that commitment.
Additionally, we recommend that students and their families talk to professionals and students at Chabad, Hillel, Olami and Greek life organizations to learn about their experiences on campus.
