Near Eastern Studies. They 
led a community dialogue 
about the Israeli-Palestinian 
conflict featuring a live Q&A 
panel where students and 
community members could 
ask questions, and Lupovitch 
and Khan answered with an 
unbiased view. 
Siegmann says that’s been 
some of the only open dia-
logue between the pro-Israel 
and anti-Israel sides on cam-
pus. 
Rather than hosting rallies 
themselves, campus Hillel and 
other Jewish campus organi-
zations have been trying to 
bring back a sense of normal-
cy for students, holding events 
like they always would.
HMD held a community 
Shabbat dinner with students 
from all of HMD’s six schools 
and has offered communi-
ty-building activities focusing 
on Jewish unity and pride.
WSU grad student Jared 
Pazner believes the best way 
to deal with hostility toward 
Jewish people is to show 
strength and unity between 
Jewish people. 
“
And it’s especially import-
ant to me to make sure I have 
a mezuzah on my front door, 
and for people to know I’m 
proud to be Jewish. Any fear 
being projected on campus 
isn’t going to force me to hide 
or shut down; it’s just going 
to make me become stronger 
with my faith,
” he said. 
U-M Hillel has offered 
additional support and 
programing for students 
including ongoing pastoral 
care, counselors from Jewish 
Family Service doing sup-
port groups twice a week, an 
expanded course on combat-
ing antisemitism, and simply 
keeping the building open for 
snacks, soup and hot bever-
ages in a space where Jewish 

students can come and feel 
safe.
“I do feel like this has been 
a moment of very strong com-
munity across other Jewish 
organizations on campus,
” 
U-M junior Sari Rosenberg 
said.
In East Lansing, MSU Hillel 
and other Jewish organiza-
tions have worked around 
the clock to support Jewish 
Spartans as they grieve for the 
lives lost abroad and grapple 
with the spike in antisemi-
tism. 
“We have advocated for the 
administration to condemn 
antisemitic events, answered 
calls from students late at 
night who need support as 
they process the last few 
months, and have created 
opportunities for students to 
connect with one another in 
times of need,
” Robyn Hughey 
said.
MSU Hillel has been “won-
derful” throughout this time 
in supporting Jewish stu-
dents, Matthew Zivian says, 
as has the university’s Serling 
Institute for Jewish Studies 
and Modern Israel, which he 
says has been key in starting 
dialogue between Jewish and 
Muslim students on campus, 
trying to reach an under-
standing of one another’s 
perspective.
Zivian, vice president of 
external affairs for MSU’s 
Jewish Student Union, said 
these past two months have 
only strengthened his Jewish 
pride.
“Before Oct. 7, I’
d say I was 
unapologetically Jewish. And 
since Oct. 7, I’m still unapolo-
getically Jewish,
” Zivian said. 
“There is nothing anybody 
can say or do that will make 
us stop being proud to be 
Jewish, especially on college 
campuses.
