Rabbi Dov Greenberg, Chabad at Stanford University executive director, comments on a now-removed professor's disturbing activity of singling out Jewish students for what the university acknowledges as “identity-based targeting.” An Opp Now exclusive.

It's deeply concerning to witness students coming to a prestigious university like Stanford and encountering discrimination, which forces them to stand apart from their peers. This issue is particularly alarming, considering the recent tragedy that unfolded against Israel and the Jewish community, reminiscent of the horrors seen during the Holocaust. The loss of 1,300 innocent lives, including women, children, and the elderly, mirrors the devastation of a Nazi attack. This situation profoundly troubles the Jewish community, and it demands a thoughtful and appropriate response.
