Jewish Campus Activism with Rudy Rochman

What does the struggle for Hebrew liberation demand of Diaspora university students today?

On The Next Stage podcast, Yehuda HaKohen is joined by activist Rudy Rochman, who discusses his experiences as a Columbia University organizer confronting identity issues within the Jewish community and anti-Israel sentiment on the broader campus. The two differ on the validity of the Palestinian narrative and on the obligation to resist a “two-state solution” on Diaspora campuses but see eye-to-eye on the necessity of long-term vision and on the need to inspire young Diaspora Jews to become players rather than spectators in the current chapter of Israel’s story.
