On the 700th day of the war, Tel Aviv Diary turns its focus away from Gaza briefly to explore the urgent challenges facing Jewish students in North America. Marc Schulman speaks with Lauren Steinberg, Managing Director for K-12 and Campus Engagement at the Jewish Federations of North America. They discuss the surge in antisemitism after October 7, the shifting climate on U.S. campuses and schools, and how Jewish federations are working to support students, parents, and educators. From Holocaust education to Israel advocacy, from combating online disinformation to strengthening community ties, this episode examines the frontlines of Jewish life in America today—and what can be done to build resilience for the future.
