Last week, we had the honor of engaging in an incredible conversation with Shai Davidai during our MACA Reads discussion of his book, American Intellectual Antisemitism: The Anti-Jewish Movement Tearing Through Our Universities. What emerged was an insightful, thought-provoking conversation about the forces shaping antisemitism on college campuses, the power of ideas, and why understanding the movement is so important. Couldn't join us live? Now you can watch the ENTIRE conversation on YouTube! 🎥 Head over to our YouTube channel, 3Jewmoms (link in bio) and don't miss this one! Knowledge is power. Conversations matter. And the work continues. #shaidavidai #stopantisemitism #mothersagainstcollegeantisemitism #booksbooksbooks

I started Iron Dome Coffee right out of a cafe. ⠀ So when @shaidavidai asked why I chose coffee, there was a pretty personal answer. I’ve spent so much of my life in cafés, having conversations, working on ideas, figuring things out. ⠀ I wanted to build something around that feeling and our shared love for Israel. ⠀ We donate 18% of our profits to organizations supporting Israel. You can find our coffee on our website at IronDomeCoffee.com. ⠀ #IronDomeCoffee #ShaiDavidai #StandWithIsrael

Jewish and Israeli voices deserve to be heard on campus. ⠀ Shai talks about the pressure to stay quiet and what happens when people refuse to acknowledge the other side at all. ⠀ You can disagree with someone and still hear what they have to say. Trying to silence them is disgraceful. ⠀ More from my conversation with @shaidavidai. ⠀ #ShaiDavidai #StandWithIsrael #IronDomeCoffee

Read American Intellectual Antisemitism to understand how people like @abdulelsayed have rebranded Jew-hatred as social justice.

You’ve read about the antisemitism. You’ve seen the videos. What do you do now? ⠀ Shai says the most important part of his book comes in the afterword, when he turns to what we can actually do about it. ⠀ I wanted to hear more about that. It’s easy to keep reading, keep watching, and end up feeling even more helpless. I want these conversations to help us figure out where we can be useful. ⠀ More from my conversation with @shaidavidai. ⠀ #ShaiDavidai #AmYisraelChai #IronDomeCoffee

There are moments in life that quietly change the direction of everything. In my new essay, “Answering the Call,” featured in White Rose Magazine, I share how October 7 changed not only the way I understood trauma, but the direction of my work. I write about grief, helplessness, traumatic invalidation, advocacy, and the moment I realized that the career I had spent years building had become something more personal: a calling. This is also a story about post-traumatic growth—not finding a reason for suffering, but deciding what we do in response to it. I’m grateful to White Rose Magazine for giving me the space to share this part of my story.

A useful rule for life: when Jews overwhelmingly tell you that something is antisemitic, listen to them.
