Deep Meaningful Conversations

Being Jewish On Campus Today with Mariel Goldstein


Listen Later

We all know the frightening reality facing Jewish students on college campuses today. The stories are horrifying and unbelievable. We want this episode to be somewhat uplifting as well, and that’s why we’ve invited Mariel Goldstein to speak with us. Mariel is the director of women’s education at MEOR Maryland, a campus-based organization dedicated to extending Jewish learning opportunities to the broadest spectrum of Jewish students at the University of Maryland, College Park. University of Maryland College Park is the fourth largest public university by Jewish population. According to Hilllel, there are 6000 Jewish students on campus, 20% of the student population. So Mariel is in the trenches, supporting Jewish students who are struggling right now – and doing her best to support herself as well since October 7th. 

On this episode we discuss:

  • The impact of October 7 on the lives of the Jewish students Mariel works with 

  • Rising anti-semitism on campus and how it’s impacted University of Maryland

  • The safe haven MEOR provides and the increased interest in programming and Jewish pride

  • The biggest takeaway for college students from this current experience

  • Mariel’s thoughts about the future of Jewish college students on secular campuses
