On Campus: Students Support for Israel Strong

LUBAVITCH, HQ -- (September 4, 2006)

After a summer-long diet of one-sided media reports and images favoring Lebanese suffering and ignoring that to Israeli civilians and cities, many college students are now returning to their campuses with skewed ideas about the war.

Chabad’s on-campus representatives will thus meet the challenge of addressing anti-Israel sentiment and have been working to find ways of reinforcing Jewish pride and support for the Jewish homeland.

So far, 39 students from Washington University in S. Louis purchased letters in the Unity Torah. "Washington University has a strong Jewish community, and we are very optimistic that our campus will remain a very positive  place throughout this entire academic year," said Chabad representative Rabbi Hershey Novack. Chabad is working on a summit to be held later in September that will bring pro-Israeli students and faculty toether on important Israel related issues.
