Last fall, the Jewish Community High School of the Bay in San Francisco invited us to share stories from the Not In Our Town movement and lead a discussion on acceptance. See how the school's Gay Straight Alliance organized this event as part of their larger mission to ensure all students are supported for who they are.

Check out the video, "Students at Jewish High School Talk About Acceptance." Here's a few screenshots from the film.

On Oct. 2, Stanford University’s Jewish community celebrated the first night of Sukkot, the harvest festival that commemorates the Biblical story of the Israelites living in booths in the desert after their exodus from Egypt. As is traditional during the eight-day holiday, Jewish students and faculty at the Palo Alto campus ate dinner inside a sukkah, a three-sided hut built to observe the holiday.
