Statement on SDSU Chabad Break-In

Hillel of San Diego is outraged by the break-in at the Chabad of SDSU Rabbi’s home by college students. This clear act of hate is disgraceful and unacceptable. We stand with Rabbi Chalom and his family as partners and as friends. We will continue to work with SDSU officials to ensure this matter is properly addressed to protect the safety and respect of all members of the campus Jewish community. This incident comes amid growing concerns around increasing antisemitic activity nationwide so actions of this type are unsettling, no matter the motive. The safety and security of our students, staff, and community remain a priority for Hillel of San Diego, and we are regularly working with SDSU and community partners to be vigilant to ensure our community stays safe. We thank the SDSU administration for their partnership and commitment in creating  a new antisemitism task force in order to educate and combat hate. Our staff are here for students who need additional support and processing. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact Karen Parry, Executive Director, at kparry@hillelsd.org.
