Current Lauder Fellow, Tamara Listenberg, talked to Jewish Insider and discussed the difficulties of being Israeli on campus in the United States.
“It was very upsetting for me to see everything that my peers, the students, are going through ever since, them being called names and feeling isolated on campus is really heartbreaking and makes me think about not really wanting to go back to America or anywhere else,” said Listenberg, who also served in the IDF before going to the United States. “To live outside of Israel seems quite unfathomable right now.”
