Suing Harvard
Standing Up to Antisemitism in America
Shabbos Kestenbaum became the public face of a landmark lawsuit holding Harvard accountable for failing to protect Jewish students from harassment and discrimination. As the lead plaintiff, he brought campus antisemitism into the national spotlight — from congressional hearings to major media platforms.
Since then, Kestenbaum has emerged as a nationally recognized voice confronting antisemitism across campuses, institutions, and online spaces. In this powerful and timely talk, he explores the forces fueling today’s surge in antisemitism — including the role of social media — and offers clarity, courage, and a path forward for students, parents, and the greater Jewish community. This is not only a legal story; it is a call to moral strength.
