@SuleimanMas1 כתבה מעניינת, אבל שמעת לא נכון על הריב בין האורתודוקסים לרפורמים. שלחתי לך בפרטי. 🙂

On Saturday, @UCT_news in #SouthAfrica will be voting to implement an academic boycott of all Israeli universities.
The consequences of this would be disastrous. @SAUJS are fighting it, but they need our help.
Please sign and share this petition!

Joining @UNWatch, @EUJS and hundreds of protestors in front of the @UNHumanRights Council in #Geneva, to say #EnoughIsEnough, the insane and disproportionate discrimination against #Israel is not acceptable.

[Avigayil Benstein @AvigayilWUJS]

Has the Jewish state forgotten to fight the antisemitic far-right?
Powerful article written by @JewishStudents leaders @UJS_PRES and @Bin_Gut.

A snowy hello from Columbus Ohio!

[Avigayil Benstein @AvigayilWUJS]

Thank you to the #WUJSCon19 delegates who put their trust in me by re-electing me as the WUJS Chairperson.

I will listen to all unions and their members, elevate their voices and build up our union as we enter our 95th year. Together, we will amplify our activism!

[WUJS – World Union of Jewish Students @WUJS_official]

🗳 The votes have been counted, and the WUJS Chairperson election result is in!

👏 Congratulations to @AvigayilWUJS for the re-election with an overwhelming majority.

"I will be listening to you - it's all about collaboration and cooperation." #WUJSCon19

I made a cupcake candle out of the leftover wax bits from my Hanukah candles and I'm really proud of myself. 🙃

[Avigayil Benstein @AvigayilWUJS]

That time (this evening) my dad and a total stranger bonded at a #Chanukah party over how #WUJS shaped both their lives.

At @UNESCO with the @WorldJewishCong, listening to Director-General @AAzoulay reaffirm UNESCO's commitment to fighting #antisemitism, expanding #Holocaust education, and imparting the value of tolerance to the next generation.

[Avigayil Benstein @AvigayilWUJS]

Had a wonderful lunch today with Mr. @Isaac_Herzog and student leaders from the Jewish student union in France, @uejf.
#France may have a lot of #antisemitism, but these people give me real hope for a better future. They do incredible work, and I'm grateful for them every day.

[Sacha Ghozlan @SachaGhozlan]

Meeting avec @Isaac_Herzog, nouveau président de @JewishAgency lors de sa venue à Paris. Nous avons évoqué les enjeux de partenariat entre @uejf et @AgenceJuive pour combattre l’antisémitisme, l’antisionisme et renforcer les liens des étudiants français avec Israël

@HannahHakodesh Hi Hannah! Did you go in the end? Did you find a welcoming community to join?

[Avigayil Benstein @AvigayilWUJS]

Normally I spend Shabbat morning very much asleep. This week, in support of the Jewish community of #Pittsburgh, I'm going to get out of bed and #ShowUpForShabbat.
Who's with me?

[American Jewish Committee @AJCGlobal]

Today we are launching #ShowUpForShabbat, a new nationwide initiative aimed at filling synagogues across the country next weekend. Join us: https://t.co/NEyklY68jc

[Avigayil Benstein @AvigayilWUJS]

@crosd_betty I'm so glad.
I went and it just felt right. Like I was taking part in something really important. How was your experience?

[David Harris @DavidHarrisNY]

Thank you to the millions of people worldwide who supported @AJCGlobal’s #ShowUpForShabbat campaign.

Amazing response: Synagogues filled with Jews & non-Jews grieving for the 11 Jews murdered in Pittsburgh & saying NO to hatred.

It’s not over. We need to stay strong & united.

[Avigayil Benstein @AvigayilWUJS]

@HannahHakodesh I'm so glad to hear it. I'm sure there are some wonderful shuls I'm the area that will be delighted to have you. <3
