Today’s college students are being marginalized just for being Jewish, according to the Lappin Foundation, an organization focused on enhancing Jewish identity across generations.

“As their lives have moved into digital spaces, the discrimination has followed them there,” the foundation states on its website.

A new film, “Unsafe Spaces,” explores this and related challenges. The foundation is sponsoring a virtual showing on May 16 at 7:30 p.m. EST and inviting the public to watch.

The event will include a short presentation by Jacob Baime, CEO of Israel on Campus Coalition, who will give participants an update on the situation from his own perspective.

“It’s not about improving Israel’s image. It’s not about fighting back the media war,” Talia Dekel-Fleissig told JNS. “It’s about making sure that the public understands what’s actually going on.”
The film was also nixed by both of Australia’s national public broadcasters.
“We’re very proud Jews. We want to live like proud Jews,” a Toronto-area father told JNS.
