The War That No One Expected, Jewish Students Don’t be Afraid

Emily is in her freshman year at college. After a few dirty looks, she considered covering her star of David necklace. That was until she joined a beautiful Friday night dinner at Chabad. Now, Emily is inspired to display her Judaism proudly.
Josh is graduating this year. He has big aspirations for the future, and his stellar reputation is of utmost priority to him. After noticing the antisemitic trends on campus, Josh feels abandoned by his fraternity and colleagues. He visits Chabad for a sense of support and a feeling of home.
There’s a war on campus. And Chabad on Campus is at the forefront of the fight.
Since October 7, there has been a dramatic increase in antisemitism and hate on college campuses. There isn’t just one war against our people, there are two. While the first is fought on the ground in Israel, this one is targeting the Jewish youth on campus.
In this war, it is our students who are suffering the most.
In this war, it is Chabad on Campus who is spearheading the battle.
In this war, it is our responsibility to stand together with our college campuses in solidarity. It’s on us to make sure that Jewish students are not silenced.
Chabad on Campuses around the globe are joining together to fight antisemitism. In the past two months, Chabad on Campus has become busier and more active than ever before. As the shluchim tirelessly offer students the spiritual ammunition to stand proudly as Jews, this campaign gives us the opportunity to provide them with the funds necessary to continue their crucial work.
Because that’s who we are as Jewish People: When faced with a challenge, we rise up to the occasion with unity.
The war on campus cannot be fought with weapons, tanks, or artillery. Our victory is in our love, our community, and, most of all, the powerful flame of Yiddishkeit burning in our hearts.
Tens of thousands of Jewish students throughout the world are calling for our support. In this worldwide campaign, we promise to let their voices be heard!
Similar to the annual Hatzalathon, Raisethon has joined forces with Chabad on Campus to create a platform for each individual Campus Chabad House. This gives you the opportunity to support the campus of your choice and offer them the strength they need to prevail in the fight of light over darkness.
Arm in Arm, Chabad on Campuses stand with their students to ensure a vibrant Jewish future.
Arm in Arm, we stand with Chabad on Campuses to keep their fuel going!
Arm in Arm, we will prevail. Because our unity makes an impact.
Strong. Bold. Proud. JEWISH.
