In this episode, I talk with Shai Davidai, one of the most prominent Zionist academics of the post-10/7 era. Shai has been at the forefront of addressing the surge in antisemitism on college campuses, courageously calling out Columbia University’s administration for their failure to adequately support Jewish students during these challenging times.
Through his advocacy and personal reflections, Shai sheds light on the struggles Jewish students face, the importance of standing up for one’s identity, and how Zionism intersects with academic life and activism. We also discuss his own Jewish identity as an atheist.
