Prof. Susannah Heschel in Conversation with Tamar Ish Shalom

The Jewish People Policy Institute ( JPPI)

For the past 16 months, U.S. campuses have been rocked by protests, encampments, and confrontations, with university leaders often struggling – or outright failing – to respond. But one Ivy League school took a different path, leading to a different outcome. Dartmouth stands out for something rare: a sense of hope. At the center of this story is Professor Susannah Heschel, a leading scholar of Jewish Studies and the daughter of the legendary Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel – one of the great moral voices of the 20th century. In this conversation, she shares what happened at Dartmouth, why it worked, and what it reveals about this moment in history. We also explore her powerful argument that antisemitism isn't just hatred – it's cultural sadism. What does that mean? And why does her father's legacy feel more urgent than ever?
