16 | SEPTEMBER 26 • 2024 the AAPD stands against antisemitism and an investigation is underway. (Anderson) added that he will work with the County Prosecutor’s Office to aggressively prosecute those who are responsible. ” Rosen, who also wrote that the assault marred what has otherwise been an “incredible” start to the semester with 300 students attending the first Shabbat dinner of the fall, continued: “The safety of our students is our highest priority, and we appreciate law enforcement’s quick response. We know this is difficult news to hear especially as we are just beginning the school year. To anyone in our community who needs some- one to talk to or a welcome place, please know the Hillel team is here for you. ” ADL Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Greenblatt said the orga- nization is putting up a $5K reward for any infor- mation leading to the arrest of the attackers. On X, Greenblatt stated: “The ADL is horrified to learn of an alleged antisemitic assault on a Jewish (University of Michigan) stu- dent. We are grateful to Ann Arbor Police, who are investigating this as a hate crime. ” Rabbi Davey Rosen Jonathan Greenblatt “We are calling on state and local government leaders to protect our students,” Rosenzweig told the JN. “As a Jewish community, it is also our job to protect our students. “Some of us are doing things like attending rallies, calling our local officials and trying to get support for the Unmask the Hate initiative. We can also make donations to Jewish organizations on campus (like Hillel and Chabad) because they serve as a safe Jewish haven for our students,” he said. “Speaking up for our students is all our responsibility.” In celebration of Rosh Hashanah, the First Hebrew Congregation of South Haven will host an apples and honey outing from 10:30 a.m until 12 noon on Sunday, Oct. 6 at the Crane Orchards U-Pick Pavilion located in Fennville.
