As the lead plaintiff in a historic lawsuit against Harvard University, Shabbos is making waves by challenging one of the world’s most prestigious institutions for its failure to protect Jewish and Israeli students.

In this powerful conversation, he shares how Holocaust education shaped his identity, why he turned down a settlement offer from Harvard, and what this case means for the future of Jewish advocacy in America. We also delve into his views on the release of (American) hostages without Israeli involvement, and the broader question many are asking: Are American Jews being abandoned?
