Victories in Jewish People

I graduated my Master of Social Work at CWRU right around when JRL got started. It had never occurred to me in my two years at CWRU to go to Hillel or Chabad services because I knew my values would not align with theirs. I wouldn't be able to be myself or be open with my thoughts and values. There was not a space for Jewish students like me. If JRL existed when I was a student, I would've been able to participate in my faith and culture on campus. It's outrageous and embarrassing that a student government would stand against the recognition of a Jewish student group in 2025. I stand with JRL and urge CWRU to let students exercise their freedom of religion, including when their religious practice means working towards liberation and tikkun olam.

The CWRU administration has consistently positioned itself as an authority on Jewish issues while actively suppressing the Jewish voices that they disagree with. It's frightening to see USG position themselves similarly, allowing for Zionist Jewish groups like Chabad and Hillel to operate under USG, but labeling JRL—a group whose political and social justice motives are implied in their name—as "too cultural" for USG. I stand with my Jewish peers who are seeking to create a safe space for the Jewish community and who feel like the existing Jewish organizations on campus have failed to do so. CWRU needs JRL.
Sabrina supported: URGE STUDENT GOVERNMENT TO RECOGNIZE JEWS FOR RADICAL LIBERATION
I graduated my Master of Social Work at CWRU. I stand with JRL. It's embarrassing that student government would disclude Jewish student group. In the end, CWRU and USG are harming their own reputation when they excluding groups fighting for the liberation of all people.

As a jew, this holiday is extremely important and is immensely rude to put Prom on this date.
