On this episode of Breaking The Narrative, Daniel, a StandWithUs Canada alumnus from Western University, and Noa, a current Emerson Fellow at Toronto Metropolitan University, join us for a powerful and timely conversation on what it means to be Jewish on campus in Canada after October 7th.
Together, they shed light on the sharp rise in antisemitism across Canadian universities and share deeply personal stories about navigating hate, isolation, and activism in the face of growing hostility. As student leaders, both have been on the front lines, organizing events, building community, and pushing back against misinformation and intolerance.
But this episode goes beyond the challenges. Daniel and Noa reflect on how these experiences have deepened their Jewish identities, strengthened their sense of purpose, and inspired them to keep showing up, not just for themselves, but for the next generation of Jewish students.
This is a raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful conversation about resilience, leadership, and the path forward for Jewish life on campus.
