Shai Davidai on Campus, Antisemitism, Advocacy, and his Jewish Identity

Shai has been at the forefront of addressing the surge in antisemitism on college campuses, courageously calling out Columbia University’s administration for their failure to adequately support Jewish students during these challenging times.

We also discuss his own Jewish identity as an atheist. 🎥 Topics Covered: ✅ Rising antisemitism and its impact on campus communities ✅ Shai’s outspoken critique of institutional responses to antisemitism ✅ What it means to be an atheist Jew ✅ Building resilience and community in the post-10/7 landscape 👉 Don’t miss this insightful conversation.
