| Abstract: | The article focuses on the impact of the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel and the subsequent military response in Gaza, which heightened tensions on American college campuses, particularly affecting Jewish students. Reports indicate that Jewish students faced social isolation, harassment, and antisemitic comments from peers and faculty, prompting universities to implement measures such as remote learning and limited campus access. In response to these events, the editorial board of the Journal of Jewish Education decided to publish a special issue dedicated to antisemitism and anti-Zionism on campuses, featuring seven articles that explore the experiences of Jewish students and the broader implications for Jewish education and community life. The issue aims to contribute to the understanding of antisemitism in contemporary American society and the complexities of Jewish identity in the current sociopolitical climate.
