Many people are wondering about what’s happening on U.S. campuses.
While I can’t speak about all other college campuses, I can definitely give you an insider’s view about @Columbia University.

"On October 7th, Israel was attacked. Since October 7th, American Jews have been under attack."
Do yourselves a favor and watch this jaw-dropping speech. With students like this, the future of our people is bright.
Talk about essentials- soldiers at their post need the daily daf! A special edition of the Schottenstein @artscroll Kidushin, including perakim of Tehillim. "We printed 5000 to start, and we are already overwhelmed with requests for more..." says Rabbi Shai Graucher

"The toughest part of working out is getting on the bike. When completed, you will never regret the hard work," Ben Alldis @onepeloton. The same goes for Teshuvah. The hardest part is getting started, and when you invest in the process, you will never regret it. #ElulThoughts

3. Imitation is the finest form of flattery.
