Shabbos Kestenbaum, Jewish Student Activist

Alexander Shabbos Kestenbaum is a religious American Jewish activist. Until not long ago, he was a Harvard Divinity School student and that’s evolved since October to where he’s suing Harvard University in a landmark case that alleges Harvard failed to protect Jewish students from antisemitism. 

While at Harvard he founded and was  President of the Harvard Divinity School Jewish Student Association and active member of both Harvard Chabad and Harvard Hillel. He didn’t just become a campus leader and a Jewish activist on October 8th. 

Like many of us, Shabbos is on the frontline of the fight for Israel right now especially for Jewish students, but really all Jewish Americans, with one of the world’s most prestigious universities.
