A historic shift in student activism has taken place at The New School in New York City, where students have voted to defund the campus chapter of Hillel, a Jewish student organization. This unprecedented move is believed to be the first of its kind in the United States, sparking a national conversation about the role of Hillel and its relationship with the broader Jewish community. The vote was reportedly the result of a contentious debate over Hillel's perceived ties to the Israeli government and its alleged failure to support Palestinian students on campus. As Hillel considers its next steps, experts are weighing in on the implications of this decision and what it may mean for the future of Jewish student life in the US.
