‘Gaza Solidarity Sukkahs’ Spark Debate on Anti-Zionist Jewish Practices
Amidst the echoes of tradition and the cries for justice, Jewish students across several U.S. universities have redefined the ancient practice of Sukkot. Erecting "Gaza solidarity sukkahs," they've courageously merged sacred observance with a profound protest against the violence in Gaza, challenging both their peers and institutions. As universities grapple with these expressions—torn between maintaining order and respecting diverse voices—the resilience of these students ignites crucial conversations on authenticity, activism, and the very soul of Jewish identity. Join me as we explore this intersection of faith, activism, and the quest for peace.
