Jewish students make up some 15 percent of the undergraduate population at Yale University. The Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life is home to both the Young Israel House at Yale, which serves the Orthodox Jewish community, and Hillel, which offers a diverse array of programs. These include Jewish learning classes, social justice opportunities, and an annual Chanukah Ball, as well as initiatives by multiple groups dedicated to exploring Israel’s political and cultural dimensions. Chabad similarly has a strong presence on campus, offering an annual public menorah lighting, shabbat meals, and one-on-one Jewish learning. This Ivy League school also boasts a Jewish sorority and fraternity, regular minyanim, and offers kosher lunch and dinner options at the Lindenbaum Kosher Kitchen. However, the school does have an SJP chapter, which in April 2017 hosted BDS co-founder Omar Barghouti on campus, where he received an award from the Connecticut-based organization Promoting Enduring Peace. Yale's administration clarified that the award was given by a third-party organization, and "does not represent the views of the university as a whole.” In September, the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism co-organized a conference on “Antisemitism and the Radical Right,” featuring a keynote speaker who claimed that “straight-up Zionism is generally Islamophobic,” and that “Israel has always been Islamophobic, that is to say racist.” (Photo credit: Wikipedia.)
