5 Ways of Combating Antisemitism on College Campuses

Hi, I’m Ted Rosner. I attended the Masa internship program in 2022 where I interned at the International
Institute for Counterterrorism in Herzliya. I’m currently back in the United States living in New York and
will be returning to Israel next October to earn a master’s degree in government from Reichman
University.
I was deeply disturbed by the brutal attack on Israel on October 7th. I am confident Israel will win the war
against Hamas and terrorism against the Jewish state. I hope the current rise in antisemitism will be
reversed and followed by a greater appreciation of the value of Israel to the region and in the world.

Since that tragic date, I have been involved in many events to support the State of Israel from America.
The Jewish community in Israel deserve the respect, support, and love of the entire world, and it is my
hope that even its most violent enemies will one day in the future change to finally appreciate both Israel
and the Jewish people.

Born in Jerusalem, raised in Colorado, building a creative career in LA, until October 7, and rising antisemitism sent Zoe Manor back to Israel, in the middle of a war.
She joined a Masa Israel Journey program as a soft landing, and a spur-of-the-moment offer to edit audio grew into Talking Unfiltered, a podcast exploring dating, bureaucracy, community, faith and identity from both native-Israeli and diaspora perspectives. In this conversation she reflects on why she'd rather live under rockets than as "a shell" of herself, what native Israelis still don't understand about antisemitism abroad, and how she made peace with her accent, recalling her brother's line that everyone who built this country once spoke Hebrew with one.
