Opinion: Support for a Binational State Doesn’t Always Signal Anti-Zionism Among Jewish Young Adults
In a recent opinion piece, Rabbi Seth Winberg, executive director of Hillel at Brandeis, argues that growing support among some Jewish-American young adults for a binational Israeli-Palestinian state reflects a range of views rather than a rejection of Zionism.

Their work this fall will focus on supporting Jewish students by offering opportunities for them to participate in meaningful Jewish experiences on campus.
Air Force Officer and West Point Hillel Graduate Creates Community for Jewish Cadets
Air Force Officer Olivia Raykhman found a strong Jewish community while attending the United States Military Academy at West Point. Hillel at West Point helped her embrace her identities as a Jew and as an American soldier. After recognizing that many Jewish cadets and ROTC students lacked similar support, she built Nesharim, an organization dedicated to creating community for Jewish service members through in-person and virtual gatherings. Raykhman hopes every Jewish cadet can find the same sense of community she found through Hillel.
