Elite university campuses are fraught with tension as students clash with each other and college administrations over the Israel-Hamas War. Over 100 students have been arrested from pro-Palestinian demonstrations on Yale, NYU, and Columbia campuses, videos of brazen antisemitism have gone viral, and one Rabbi in Columbia's community encouraged Jewish students to go home for their own safety. NYC Rabbi David Ingber explains the escalations and safety concerns, while donor and Columbia Business School alumnus Leon Cooperman discusses the responsibilities of higher education institutions. Plus, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz maps out the Federal Reserve's road ahead, and Elon Musk is at odds with Australia's Prime Minister over posts on X.

Over the past several weeks, especially the Biden administration's statements Thursday, Israel has been subjected to a fresh round of harsh criticisms. We'll be turning to the elevating U.S.-Israel tensions in our Monday episode with Nadav Eyal. But today we have a conversation about the criticisms we have been hearing in intra-Jewish community debates here in the U.S. and other Diaspora communities. While there is a growing number of American Jewish leaders calling on Israel to change course and pursue a permanent ceasefire -- or at least wage a more “humane” war -- these voices are still a small minority (albeit a very loud minority). These voices get outsized attention, but they should not be ignored. They are people that many of us know. Some have large platforms. Many non-Jews hear them on those platforms and cite these Jewish figures as sources. What does all this tell us about trends in American Jewish life long before October 7? What is the impact now on Israel? These are some of the questions we try to unpack with: -Yossi Klein Halevi, who is a senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. Yossi has written a number of books, including his latest, "Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor," which was a New York Times bestseller. He has written for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Times of Israel. He is co-host of "For Heaven's Sake" podcast. -Rabbi David A. Ingber is the new Senior Director for Jewish Life and Senior Director of the Bronfman Center at 92NY. He serves as the founding rabbi of Romemu, the largest Renewal synagogue in the United States.

Rabbi David Ingber on Parshat Re'eh, 5782 by Romemu: Jewish Life, Elevated
Self-promotion, being first, having a 'brand' or a platform, are all ubiquitous in today's world. 'If I am not for myself', the wise words of the great Hillel have become a modern-day mantra. And, though sharing your voice and being heard are vital, learning to live with others through the trait of humility may be the most powerful antidote to the current state of division, discord and despair available to us. This past week's wisdom, Eikev, literally means 'heel' and in it, our teacher Moses implores the people to listen in an 'eikev' or heel way. What does that mean? Eikev, or heel, is the lowest part of the body. It doesn't seek to be first, to lead, to be a-head or get a-head. It follows the rest of the body, but, according to our Sages, is the densest and strongest part of the foot. Learning to listen from the heel, can heal us.
In our parsha, Va'etchanan, Moses warns the Israelites to obey and follow Torah lest they be exiled from the land, dispersed throughout the world. He then proceeds to predict that his warnings will go unheeded and indeed, the Israelites will eventually find themselves in galut, or exile, dislocated and distanced from home. But, says Moses, if you seek G-d from that place (Heb. mee'shom), you will find the Divine. Finding G-d where we are now, beginning the journey home from our current situation is not easy at all. Often we are like children who ask, 'are we there yet?', restless and uncomfortable with where we are, we can lose sight of this profound teaching from Moses our teacher.

Two Shabbatot before Passover is known as "the Shabbat of the month," when we once again read the commitment made to the people of Israel. Once a people with no ownership of their own time, the Israelites, now free, finally have a say over how their time is used - they are renewed. While every Shabbat involves the holiness of renewal, the special Shabbat of a new month also ushers in a renewal of the moon. As we enter a month that reminds us of a liberation we thought was impossible, we must also address what areas of our lives are in need of renewal as we push to build the world we'd like to see.
"If all we do is remember, we become slaves to memory, and if all we do is forget, we erase the legacy of the past and make covenants simply a matter of nostalgia." As a community and a society, we have been imprinted with memories of forced separation, brutality, and loneliness, reflected both in current global events as well as our retellings of ancient stories. However, if we are slaves to memory and we do not use the power of compassionate, intentional forgetting, we are refusing to grow together. On our path from Purim to Pesach, we must keep in mind that it is time to retell - and rewrite - our stories.
Regret is not the same as disappointment. Yes, regret involves disappointment and remorse, but also agency - What did I do, and what should I have done differently? I shouldn't have severed those ties, I shouldn't have compromised my personal morals... But what do we do with that energy? The Torah tells us that if we toil in that position of uncertainty, we would die in despair. However, the Torah then says, "But here's a way out." Acknowledge the mistake, say you'll do it different next time, and mean it. It's hard to look back over the last two years and not feel regret, but as we fully reopen and embrace each other as a community, we now have a golden opportunity to reflect and grow.
Every week we turn to the Torah for clues on how to lead a life well-lived. Elsewhere in the Torah, the word pekudei and its root appear at moments of great hope, community, and sacred duty. Now, as we learn the pekudei of the tabernacle, we know we are not simply given a list of tasks, but rather actions with divine promise. Rabbi Ingber extends the tabernacle as a representation of the world and suggests that the Torah is in fact reminding us to be mindful, to keep promises, to be guardians, and to foster hope. Not only that, but as we observe Refugee Shabbat during a time of great crisis in Ukraine, we recognize how crucial it is to never allowing another to be subject to what we endured as strangers in Egypt.
Exodus ends with an exploration of the meaning of our Shabbat cycle alongside the tabernacle's completion. The Israelites all brought contributions to the tabernacle until Moses commanded them to stop and observe Shabbat, after which the sequence would begin again. In every generation, each of us does what we can to build for the generation to follow, who will pick up where we leave off. Following this train of thought, Rabbi Ingber suggests that not everything you want to see in the world can happen through you alone - we must pass that torch over to future generations to carry.
When Moses last descends from Mt. Sinai, he doesn't know that his face is illuminant with rays of light. By the time we encounter this divine phenomenon in our reading, we have already experienced the human cycle of brilliant joy and wretched despair; the Jews breaking the chains of slavery through the destruction of the first pair of tablets - highs and lows. For all of us, it is possible to live in our disappointment and come down from the mountain with our faces bright, emerging from despair.
We all endure falls, make mistakes, and are subject to a variety of hardships we have no control over. We also have the capacity to see these events as either bricks of slavery or the luminous bricks of divine revelation. Rabbi David Ingber urges us to liberate ourselves from stories, from slaveries, that we no longer need to honor.
