"A Narrowing Gate" - NEW REPORT on Jewish enrollment at Harvard and its peers, 1967-2025.

Harvard has been cut in half - from ~14% to 7%. Penn fell similarly. Yale declined ~42%.

But at Brown it grew. At Cornell it held. At Princeton it barely moved.

[Harvard Jewish Alumni Alliance @HarvardJews]

A House Committee report, a DOJ lawsuit, and our own enrollment data all point to the same conclusion: antisemitism at Harvard is systemic, not episodic - and Harvard must address it itself.

Joint statement from @HarvardJews, HBS JAA, and HLSA JAN:

[Harvard Jewish Alumni Alliance @HarvardJews]

The report draws on Hillel data, Crimson surveys, demographic records, and peer comparisons spanning nearly 60 years.

It examines nine structural explanations across all nine schools. No single factor, or combination, accounts for the gap.

@JewishSpaceLazr Thank you! I appreciate you!

[Harvard Jewish Alumni Alliance @HarvardJews]

Announcement from Roni:
After serving as VP Social Media/Media Relations & spokesperson for HJAA, I'm stepping away today. Proud to have built our digital presence from the ground up and given this organization a voice that couldn't be ignored

[Harvard Jewish Alumni Alliance @HarvardJews]

What matters is you.

The mission remains vital, and I've done what I came to do. Thank you to everyone who showed up when it counted. 🙏

[Harvard Jewish Alumni Alliance @HarvardJews]

Grateful for this community that understood: when they said "it depends on the context," it actually depended on standing up for ourselves

HJAA organized the biggest Jewish event at Harvard right at Sanders. HJAA conducted an education audit more than a year before Harvard’s own

[Shaul Robinson @RabbiLincolnSQ]

The Jewish Community does not want to hear "Antisemitism has no place in America" when its been allowed to run rampant on the streets, on campus, at conferences, in the arts, literature and many professional organizations for the last 18 months.

[Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem @IndigenousCFI]

We send our deepest condolences to the families of the two staff members from the Embassy of Israel in Washington, DC who were senselessly murdered near the Capital Jewish Museum. We condemn this despicable act of violence and call on leaders to stand against antisemitism!

[Jonah Platt @JonahPlatt]

And of course, the event at which this young couple was murdered was a panel discussion about the dire need and innovative ways to provide aid to Gaza, Syria, and other war torn locations.

But you know, a Jew is a Jew to a Jew killer.

[Shoshana Aufzien @shoshanaaufzien]

I’m in D.C. My family assumed I was at the AJC event. I still don’t know if police apprehended the shooter or if he’s on the loose.

This is terrifying.

[Harvard Jewish Alumni Alliance @HarvardJews]

Mazal tov!

Proud of all our graduates at Columbia Commencement 2025, and especially @Eliana_Goldin and @edenyadegar, leaders of the Jewish community on campus!

The Abraham Accords were not just political. They were psychological. In a region taught to fear the unfamiliar, the UAE chose to shake hands instead. We did not just change policy. We challenged inherited emotion. Peace is not a signature. It is a mindset. And we reset it. 🇦🇪
