The leading organization fighting antisemitism on campus today.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A remarkable story of courage and perseverance. 🇮🇱

Israeli athlete Boris Shtonda (@borisshtonda) lost his leg during the war against Hamas and faced a grueling recovery that included 19 surgeries.

Now, he’s accomplished something extraordinary: completing the IRONMAN World Championship in Hawaii.

Crossing the finish line with the Israeli flag in hand, Boris showed the world what resilience looks like.

An incredible achievement and an inspiring reminder of the strength of the Israeli spirit. 🇮🇱❤️

October 7th at McGill University: protestors are blocking traffic and calling for the destruction of both the Western world and Israel. It’s important to call out this antisemitic rhetoric. #jewish #october7 #montreal #antisemitism #canada

Three years ago today, Omer Shem-Tov was taken hostage by Hamas. The other night, he stood before our community at Penn State Hillel and shared his testimony: 505 days in captivity, and the faith, hope, and connection that carried him through.

In a packed room, students and community members were deeply moved by his strength and resilience. Today, we hold onto what he reminded us: even in the darkest places, hope finds a way.

Thank you, Omer, for trusting us with your story, and thank you to our community for being there.

A year ago at Stanford, I stood up to talk about October 7th.

But the truth is, the most important part of that night wasn’t the speech.

It was the students who came up afterward. The ones who’d been hiding their Star of David necklaces. The ones whose cousins were at Nova. The ones who said it was the first time all year they felt like someone saw them.

I think about them every time I get on a stage.
This work has never been about me. It’s about making sure no one has to grieve alone.

Three years later, we remember. 🎗️💛

Today, on October 7th, the pro-Hamas lobby has planned an antisemitic and anti-Canadian protest at McGill University for 2:00pm EST. The footage in this video demonstrates the vandalism and invasion of McGill’s private property in previous years since October 7th 2023, and we are anticipating the upcoming protest with the painful memories that Canadians have collected over the last few years. But our resilience shall prevail. God bless Canada, and Am Yisrael Chai. #october7 #jewish #canada #montreal #youth

As non-jewish, I learned the word “mensch” the way most people probably should: by being on the receiving end of it, from people who had every reason to keep their distance and chose not to.

Melvin’s stepdaughter, Sherelle Dresner, wants 2 October to become National Mensch Day and is setting up a charity, Mensch Like Melvin, to create a lasting legacy.

So, two questions, and I genuinely want your answers in the comments:

What do you think a mensch is?
Who’s the mensch in your life?

Then share this so it reaches people who’ve never heard Melvin’s name.

In memory of Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby. May their memories be a blessing.

Join us at 7:00pm on the Diag this Wednesday for a memorial march honoring the victims of October 7, 2023.

1,200 people murdered.
251 people taken hostage.
This is the first October 7th where all of the hostages, deceased and living, have been returned home.

These past three years have been marked by hardship and pain, but they have also been filled with resilience, strength, and hope. We look forward to convening and reflecting with the incredible pro-Israel community of the University of Michigan and Ann Arbor.

The Netherlands 💔
Yesterday, Sabine Taasa came to the NAZA premiere to tell her story as mother and survivor.

On October 7, Sabine lost her husband and son to the cruelest massacre of Jihad terrorism.

A woman who lived through the worst nightmare of a mother can imagine came to share her personal story. And this is how The the cinema audience of The Netherlands responded to her. From day 1 of the war our tax payer money has gone to Hamas propaganda and our leading news outlet the @nos has broken all its laws of impartiality. The hate you had to endure is the result our leading media such as NOS that refers to Hamas as ‘resistance’ and has institutionalised 7 Oct denial.

I want to tell these fellow Dutch citizens one thing: you are in fact worse than Nazis. You carry none of their shame and all of the audacity and glorification of terror— of Hamas. Shame on you, shame on our country. Am Yisrael Chai.

PROFITING FROM INTIFADA, MAHMOUD KHALIL & HIS USA JIHAD TOUR : PART 1

Last night, we took JEWISH PRIDE and our unwavering support for Israel straight to Mahmoud Khalil and his den of intifada enablers.. It started on W. 110th Street with Chabad rabbis and our crew celebrating Sukkot in the streets shaking the lulav, making the bracha, dancing, singing and putting Jewish pride on full display. Then we broke away. A few blocks later, we walked straight into Book Culture on W. 112th Street — the Columbia campus — where Mahmoud Khalil was being featured for a sold-out event promoting his new book, No Land to Stand On: Notes from Detention. This is the same Columbia campus where Khalil became one of the most prominent organizers and spokespeople of the 2024 pro-Palestinian protest movement. I came with a simple message: COME OUT AND TALK. I wanted Khalil to address the issues I have raised publicly including the allegations and claims made against me and others in his recently filed lawsuit against Betar and other defendants. Instead, the room got heated. We were told to leave. We were pushed out. There was a confrontation over our flag. But we didn’t come looking for a fight. WE CAME TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD. And while we were standing there with our Israeli and American flags, megaphone in hand, demanding answers KHALIL DIDN’T COME OUT. We’re not hiding. We’re not backing down. And we’re not letting anyone rewrite what happened at Columbia or erase the Jewish students and New Yorkers who were there and experienced it. #betar #jewishpride #rossglick #sukkot

A Canadian synagogue was attacked on Yom Kippur in Belleville Ontario. We call on the government to act as antisemitism continues to increase in Canada.

UCSD&UCSB Fact Finders/Perspectives Trip 2026

After 15 hours of flying, we landed in Israel and quickly realized this was much more than a trip it was a Journey of learning, discovery, and understanding.
From the beautiful landscapes of the Golan and the Sea of Galilee, to the holy city of Jerusalem, the communities near the Gaza border, and the vibrant streets of Tel Aviv, every place offered a new perspective and a deeper understanding of the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

This journey had everything: meaningful conversations, unforgettable experiences, incredible food, music, laughter, and so much warmth and joy.
Most importantly, we created friendships and connections that will last a lifetime. We came home with new knowledge, new perspectives, and memories we will never forget.
Thank you MTF, for an unforgettable and meaningful experience. 💙
