A powerful piece by my friend, astrophysicist Prof Sarah Rugheimer:
As an astrophysics professor, I teach classes on the wonders of the universe. Working in the physical sciences insulated me from antisemitic libels that had crept into academia over the past several decades. I’m embarrassed that the explosion of Jew-hate in the last two years took me by surprise. How worried should we be? How quickly does anti-Jewish rhetoric and libel lead to vandalism and violence?…
