Rabbi Sue Laikin Silberberg says she has seen both the most and the worst antisemitism in her 32 years at IU in the last nine months. In a time of healing and seeking solutions, Indiana University's Hillel Center has opened a new Jewish Culture Center.

BLOOMINGTON — In a time of healing and seeking solutions, Indiana University's Hillel Center has opened a new Jewish Culture Center.

"I've been on campus now for 32 years, and I just had not seen or heard these kinds of sustained and virulent antisemitic attacks," Silberberg said. In February, the most recent reported attacks happened when an anonymous person posted racist comments about IU's Jewish fraternities and students on"Greek Rank," an online platform for rating and reviewing fraternity and sorority chapters.

Following the creation of the Antisemitism Prevention Task Force, students requested an extension of the Hillel Center to be formed in an effort to share their culture with non-Jewish students on campus. The center will also be inviting the community to join them forJewish cooking, Jewish foods, and celebrating Jewish holidays.
