In the photo above are rabbi Shaya Gansbourg, his son Yossel, CCNY Chabad club president Marshall Levy, and I complete the human pyramid at the top. To our surprise, you can leave a menorah overnight on campus without any damage. Considering the activist enemies we have on campus, this is certainly a blessing. To the gentiles, I thank you for respecting our holiday traditions, and I feel the same towards your Christmas.

Art student Barry Wald lights the menorah.

Throughout the year, Chabad had a series of lectures related to the upcoming Jewish holiday or weekly Torah chapter.

Kedmi's Palestinian counterpart is a student in Chicago and a resident of Ramallah, Aya Hijazi. The slide on the left shows a One Voice petition being distributed in a Palestinian diner.
