Noam WeissmanHOST
What is Hillel and what is it that you do at Hillel?
Ethan GoetzGUEST
Hillel, in general terms, Hillel International is a global Jewish student organization that helps put on activities, leadership development, growth, anything Jewish related that you could think of, Hillel does.
Ethan GoetzGUEST
And so internationally, they are at over, I think, 850 campuses representing just about 200,000 students, which is really, really special to be able to represent that many people.
Ethan GoetzGUEST
And be able to be international as well, and it's not just the US.

Noam WeissmanHOST
But be in the conversation.
Noam WeissmanHOST
Yeah.
Ethan GoetzGUEST
And I think when we were at the Hillel International meeting in D.C., one of the things we talked about, like we were talking to Adam Lehman.
Ethan GoetzGUEST
Adam Lehman is the head of CEO of Hillel International.
Lara SheehiHOST
Like Jacobin's not that I would want you to do that, nor would you, but it's along these same lines.
Maura FinkelsteinGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I haven't pitched really big outlets that I've known wouldn't publish my work, but I have been writing about Jewish supremacy, about Zionist organizations like Hillel International, um, for a few years now.
Maura FinkelsteinGUEST
And the first, I mean, when I was first placed on leave from my former job for a few months, I mean, it was actually, it was terrible, but it was kind of great.
Maura FinkelsteinGUEST
Cause I was like, I'll just, they want to shut me up.
Lara SheehiHOST
It's
Maura FinkelsteinGUEST
not breaking news, but, um, but I mean with, with articles and essays and now I just like mostly write on Substack and like, I'm, doing some stuff for Monda Weiss and like sometimes I get asked to write things, which is like very nice and makes my life so much easier.
Maura FinkelsteinGUEST
But I'm working on a book about Hillel International right now.
Maura FinkelsteinGUEST
And I had a literary agent, which is another conversation.
Jonathan FreedlandHOST
Um, I think I might do that.
Jonathan FreedlandHOST
So, um, first of all, I just thought a Chutzpah, I mean, a, a crowded field again, but I, I'm gonna, um, single out for a Chutzpah Award those people who have decided they should target Hillel House on the campus of the University of Oregon.
Jonathan FreedlandHOST
Now, Hillel House will be known to Jewish students and the families of Jewish students the world over.
Jonathan FreedlandHOST
If there's a campus with a significant enough number of Jewish students, there is a Hillel House.
Jonathan FreedlandHOST
Uh, the re-- it was a place where Jews might Stay or e- at least get a kosher meal, maybe a Friday night.
Jonathan FreedlandHOST
You know, uh, I, I'm, you, you, adopting this tone of voice partly because they're such a sort of innocuous thing.
Jonathan FreedlandHOST
Maybe, maybe they're missing home in their first term away from home.
Jonathan FreedlandHOST
They can get light candles and have a Friday night dinner with other Jewish students.
Marshall WeissHOST
They're still an Israel fellow, and you can still say you're a Zionist in Hillel, but I think you would be facing more pushback as opposed to before because of these new policies that are being brought up.
Marshall WeissHOST
However, Hillel International and Michigan Hillel pushed back, emphasizing that it does not need to affiliate with independent groups to be pro-Israel.
Marshall WeissHOST
Consistent with the Hillel movement's leading role in Israel engagement, Michigan Hillel remains committed to substantial Israel-related programming, education, and immersive experiences, a Hillel International spokesperson said.
Marshall WeissHOST
Michigan Hillel shared that this decision was specifically limited to independent national advocacy organizations.
Marshall WeissHOST
In a follow-up statement to Students Sent Monday, Huey wrote, Michigan Hillel is and will always remain a steadfast supporter of Israel.
Jose GalisonHOST
So another world leader with ties to Epstein is former, uh, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
Jose GalisonHOST
Epstein had access to Israel's leaders through the major Jewish organizations and philanthropists which he-- with, with which he was affiliated, including the UJA Federation of New York, Hillel International, National Council of Jewish Women, Friends of Israel Defense Forces, Jewish National Fund, and YIVO, uh, Y-I-V-O Institute for Jewish Research.
Jose GalisonHOST
Ninety-eight, some twenty of America's most significant Jewish businessmen met to create the Mega Group, a collective aimed at defining Judaism for a new century and funding causes like Holocaust education and Zionism.
Jose GalisonHOST
The Mega Group included Steven Spielberg, Charles Bronfman, and Rona- Ronald Lauder.
Briahna Joy GrayHOST
And I think, yeah.
Norman FinkelsteinGUEST
They were told by their Hillels, they were told by the organization, "Report every incident.
Norman FinkelsteinGUEST
Report every incident," so they can build a case.
Norman FinkelsteinGUEST
Build a case about rampant antisemitism.
