Hillel of Metro Detroit hosted Jewish college students for an uplifting night of community and connection at a Detroit Red Wings game. The event brought together students from Wayne State University and Oakland University – in box seats!

Jacob Miller, a 2025 graduate of Harvard University, served as both president of Harvard Hillel and chair of The Crimson’s Editorial Board. In his recent op-ed, Miller recounted the challenges he faced following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, including feelings of isolation due to campus incidents and antisemitism. Despite these difficulties, he chose to lead The Crimson’s editorial board, emphasizing the importance of engaging with differing perspectives to foster understanding and connection.

A fire-bomb attack in Boulder, Colorado today targeted a walk in support of the remaining hostages in Hamas captivity. A man yelling, “Palestine is Free,” threw incendiary devices into the group, injuring several people, some of them severely. The Boulder Police Department and the FBI are investigating the attack as a possible act of terror. The suspect is in custody. 

Families of the 58 hostages who remain in Hamas captivity marked 600 days since October 7th at a press conference in Tel Aviv. Leah Goldin, mother of fallen soldier Hadar Goldin, said the issue had grown from a personal tragedy to a national crisis: “Now there are 58 more Hadar Goldins in Gaza.”

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights opened a Title VI investigation into Cal Poly Humboldt following allegations of antisemitic harassment on campus. The complaint cites incidents where Jewish students were subjected to verbal and physical abuse, including being doused with fake blood, targeted with antisemitic slurs, and told to hide their identities. University officials reportedly advised Jewish students to leave public spaces rather than addressing the harassment. Cal Poly Humboldt stated it is reviewing the complaint and will fully cooperate with the investigation.

American University (AU) and AU Hillel announced a joint campaign to raise $7 million to provide AU Hillel with a fully renovated building including dedicated meeting and activity spaces, a student lounge, and staff offices. The initiative reflects AU’s efforts to enhance support for its Jewish community and Jewish students.
