Jews have kept Shabbos through 3000 years of oppression. Through the Holocaust, the inquisition, the expulsion from Arab lands. But per this email from a @BarnardCollege employee, Jews were expected to throw that all away bc of covid protocols. The most galling line: 
“We understand that how you have practiced religious traditions IN THE PAST…” the students on this list serve are ORTHODOX Jews who are currently practicing. Can you imagine a similar email being sent out to observant Muslims?
Thankfully, a short time later, a complete about-face email was sent, with new protocols and an apology. But my question is this: why is it that universities and progressive institutions are safe spaces for everyone except jews? Why is it that despite years of diversity and
Inclusion training an email like this one can get sent out?
