UC Riverside Hillel students, faculty and staff participated in a ADL’s education program, Words to Action on April 15. Associate Regional Directors Matthew Friedman and Ariella Schusterman led the students in this interactive program designed to teach college students how to respond to anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias on campus.
The participants learned how to distinguish among anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism, and anti-Israel bias. They also explored several case studies taken from real-life examples and discussed ways to respond. At the end of the program, one student said she was more motivated to “engage in conversation” on these issues. Another student remarked, “Please provide this program once a quarter to develop a connection and relationship with our students. We want you here.”
