"We want to make you aware of an incident that occurred at the home of #Jewish #students at #UCSD over the weekend.
We will not allow #antisemitism or hate to diminish our Jewish pride or deter our Jewish joy.
I want to pull back the curtain a little bit and be real with you. Over the past 24 hours, #Hillel has checked in multiple times with students, coordinated with #University police, SDPD, worked with our partners at #UC #SanDiego, #SCN, and all the other Jewish agencies, provided meals and will continue to provide dinners all week for students, communicated with our community, helped facilitate #rabbinic support, and purchased extra security devices for four different student homes– again all in a matter of hours. We also raised enough in the moment to make that happen, as these are not expenses normally worked into our budget.
While we all hope each incident is the last, the reality is that vandalism, harassment, and threats have not stopped."

"The #Samaritans are different. They are a tiny community of around 800 souls, divided between #Holon and #KiryatLuza near #Nablus. They trace their ancestry back to the ancient #Israelites and possess a version of the #Torah that differs only slightly from our own. Their central point of departure from mainstream #Judaism is their belief that #MountGerizim, rather than #Jerusalem, is the divinely chosen place, together with their rejection of the Oral Law and #rabbinic tradition.
As I stood among them, watching ancient rituals performed with immense sincerity, hearing #Hebrew prayers and seeing #Torahscrolls carried with reverence, I could not help feeling that I was encountering not strangers, but long-lost cousins.
Their Torah is, with only relatively minor differences, our Torah. #Abraham, #Isaac, #Jacob, and #Moses are their ancestors no less than ours. Yet somewhere in the distant past, our paths diverged."
