Being a Jewish post-secondary student on Canadian campuses this semester has become an uncomfortable experience in the past month. Students have received death threats; mezuzot have been ripped down; professors have injected anti-Israel rhetoric into their lectures; and student councils—even entire departments—have issued declarations condemning Israel. All this while Jewish students, wanting to support Israel, are suffering from the same mental health crisis that's gripped the broader Jewish Diaspora community. The world of academia has been fertile ground for anti-Zionism, where Israel is widely considered an oppressive colonial state within anti-racism frameworks. But in the past month, college campuses have become flashpoints, pitting Canadian Jewish students against vocal antisemitism from so-called progressive teachers and classmates. This has culminated in a series of lawsuits launched by Jewish students on Nov. 2, 2023, against some of Canada's most high-profile institutions—Toronto Metropolitan University, Queen's, UBC and York—accusing them of negligence in failing to address antisemitism for decades. The CJN Daily‘s producer, Zachary Kauffman, spoke with four Canadian students to find out what they're encountering on campus. He's joined by Hannah Alper, who attends Western University in London; Ido Ziv-li, from the University of Toronto's Mississauga campus; Morgan Rosenberg, from McMaster in Hamilton; and Emily Broitman, at Queen's in Kingston.

Just when you're convinced the world is a dark place with an uncertain future, along comes Hannah Alper. It's not that Hannah's a foolish optimist. She is, as Gloria Steinem calls it, a “hopeaholic”. Hannah has been an activist for social and environmental change since she was 9 years old - and that wasn't that long ago! She's a motivational speaker, a blogger, an author and budding journalist. She's also a second year university student, and yes, she assures us that she's also hanging out and having fun. Just listening to her puts a smile on our face. Come be inspired. The kids are alright.  Hannah Alper was born in Toronto in this century. In July 2012, at the age of 9, Alper launched a blog called Call Me Hannah, speaking out about causes important to her: animal welfare, habitat destruction, and the natural environment. With a social media following in the tens of thousands, Hannah has emerged as an author, a motivational speaker, an ambassador for Free the Children, co-president of the B'nai B'rith Youth Organization in Ontario, a TedX talker, and a budding journalist. In 2018, Bloomberg Businessweek named her one of 18 people to watch, so watch her! She's also a student at Western University, where she assures us she's having as much fun as she should. 

Ann Rohmer speaks with Colin Furness, an infection-control epidemiologist and an assistant professor at the University of Toronto. He discusses his take on back to in-person learning, confusion surrounding vaccinations and the line-ups for rapid tests. Tina Cortese is with Dr. Sarah Barrett from York University's faculty of education. Is it safe to be back in the classroom, how to ease student anxiety and how to support students who have fallen behind Ann Rohmer and Dan Kelly from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business discuss the supports available for small businesses and can companies survive the latest restrictions? Kevin Frankish looks into Alzheimer's month with Loren Fried – CEO Alzheimer's York Region. They discuss where to go for support and what to do after diagnosis? Jim Lang introduces us to a young environmental activist. Eighteen-year-old blogger, author, changemaker, and environmental activist Hannah Alper joins Jim to chat about the importance of people of all ages getting involved to impact climate change. She is lending her voice in support of CanadaHelps Protect the Environment Fund, which supports registered charities that are working to protect the environment and conserve Canada's parks and forests. The Fund has raised almost $33,000 to date and Hannah wants to see that grow.

Since she was nine years old, Hannah Alper has been blogging and speaking all over the world about climate change, clean drinking water, education, homelessness and discrimination against Black and Indigenous communities. She's interviewed Malala Yousafzai, travelled to Africa three times, written a book and been the subject of a documentary in 2020, CitizenKid: Earth Comes First. Now 18, Alper will soon be facing a new challenge: university. This month, she starts school at the University of Western Ontario, where she's expecting to face antisemitism on campus, including calls to boycott Israel, and pro-BDS resolutions by some student groups. But she's coming to campus prepared. On today's episode, Alper explains how she spent the summer developing skills to bring her Jewish pride and positivity to the tense world of Middle Eastern campus politics.

Change comes from finding an issue and adding your gift. Hannah Alper is a Canadian blogger, activist, published author, and so much more. Visit https://callmehannah.ca to check out her blog and follow Hannah on Instagram at thathannahalper.

At the age of nine, Hannah launched her blog, Call Me Hannah, to share her growing concern for environmental issues and show that small, everyday actions can lead to big change. Today, at 17-years-old, she has emerged as an activist, impassioned public speaker and author. Hannah uses her voice and platform to motivate and empower people of all ages to identify their passion and take action for a better world. “I believe we all have the capacity and responsibility to create change. I don’t care how old you are, how young you are, where you live or how much money you have. The ability to create change does not discriminate; it’s in everyone.” — Hannah Alper. Just as Hannah does not limit herself to one issue or platform, she is not bound geographically. While she calls Toronto home, she has travelled across North America over 35 WE Day shows and delivered keynote presentations at schools, conferences and corporations. Her passion for community and desire to be fully engaged drew her to spend time in Kenya with ME to WE and Costa Rica with National Geographic. Nothing inspires Hannah more than her peers who answer their own calls to action, and she surrounded herself with them as she participated in the Teen Vogue Summits in Los Angeles and New York City. In November 2017, Hannah released her book, Momentus: Small Acts, Big Change, based on her conviction that one person, one action, one moment can make a difference. Through sharing her own journey and stories from her role models, Hannah provides tangible, real-life, and current examples that back up this idea. This book is more than a “how-to” guide; it gets to the heart of what sparks people to create change. Momentus features 19 exclusive interviews with activists, youth change-makers, and celebrities such as Malala Yousafzai (Nobel Peace Prize Winner), Lilly Singh a.k.a. Superwoman (YouTube Creator and author), and Blake Mycoskie (Founder and Chief Shoe Giver, TOMS), the book highlights practical examples of the power of positive change in the world, whether large or small. Hannah lives just outside Toronto with her parents and two dogs and is a local public school student. You can find her sipping on frozen hot chocolates with her friends at the local cafe or on Twitter and Instagram; she’s @ThatHannahAlper. ------ Want access to the free High Performing Student minicourse? ->www.samdemma.com/hps-minicourse Want to win $500?  I've partnered with the Student Life Network to bring you the High Performing Student Scholarship

GUEST: Hannah Alper, activist, blogger, and motivational speaker

For a lot of Canadian teens, the prospect of skipping school to wear PJs, watch movies and FaceTime friends sounded like a vacation. But now in the third week of school closures and social distancing, the COVID-19 honeymoon is over. How can we help teens establish a new normal with no return to routine in sight? Calgary psychologist and mother of a teenage daughter,  Caroline Buzanko weighs-in. You can find out more about Buzanko by clicking here. We also throw the question “what to say when your teen asks to see their boyfriend/girlfriend” at Jody Carrington who believes teens just want to be heard.  And teen blogger Hannah Alper offers up advice for both her peers their parents about adjusting to physical distancing by embracing social connecting. Hannah recently wrote a blog on the subject. You can read it by visiting her website.

Last week, Scott and I were invited to appear on Breakfast Television to cap off the show's almost-always-annual BT Bloggers Week. We followed in the footsteps of several other fantastic bloggers who appeared throughout the week, including Mack Male and Karen Unland, The Kitchen Magpie, and Nicole Rowan among several others. We had a really great time hanging out with Jespo and the BT crew. I can't think of a nicer, more fun group of people to spend three very-early-morning hours with. We even got to chat with an inspiring young lady named Hannah Alper, who's touring the country right now talking about child poverty and animal rights. You can view the segments Scott and I were featured in here, here and here. Special thanks to Jason Halbauer for reaching out to us and asking us to be on the show! Hope you enjoy the episode!
