Despite the overt antisemitism currently rampant on college campuses around the world, Chabad has been out combatting darkness with the light of Mitzvos.
On Friday at the Liverpool University Campus, Chabad Rabbi Shmuli Brown and his son put on Tefillin on many passersby, and gave out Shabbat candles and challah rolls before Shabbos.
The pro-Palestinian activists nearby in their encampment as well as some passersby hurled abuse and antisemitic slurs at the father and son Shluchim, they told COLlive.com.
“The harassment and the abuse did not intimidate us in the slightest,” Rabbi Shmuli Brown said.
Last week, at the Cambridge University pro-Palestinian encampment, a Jewish student was pushed and shoved during a Gaza protest.
Ari Vladimir, 19, a first-year history student at Christ’s College, said he arrived at a rally with an Israeli flag and was swiftly pushed away by a fellow member of the crowd on Monday afternoon.
Levi Leigh, son of Cambridge Shliach Rabbi Reuven Leigh, was recorded doing Mivtzoim near the encampment, undeterred by the antisemitic protest.
