Hot-Line to Combat Anti-Israel Activities on College Campuses
Israel Law Center - hotline to fight antisemitism on campusesA Jewish civil rights group named Shurat HaDin – Israel Law Center has launched the “Campus Hotline,” a manned telephone switchboard to assist university students who are subjected to anti-Israel and anti-Semitic attacks at their schools. Students and faculty are encouraged to call the Campus Hotline at (718) 907-9258 to report any incidents of anti-Semitism, discrimination, intimidation, or harassment arising from anti-Israel activities on campuses.


Shurat HaDin is also soliciting information via the Hotline on boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns to delegitimize Israel on campus, as well as efforts to provide support for terrorist organizations.

Shurat HaDin is also in the process of creating a “Report Card” to rate campuses based on their commitment to the U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights guidance and to providing a safe and welcoming environment for Jewish students and faculty and for pro-Israel viewpoints. The organization expects administrators at poorly-ranked campuses to become more actively aware of both their legal obligations and their social responsibilities in responding to hostility and discrimination against Jewish students.

Shurat HaDin – Israel Law Center is an international human rights law organization dedicated to enforcing basic human rights through the legal system and to representing victims of terrorism in courtrooms around the world. The organization is based in Tel Aviv and has a newly established American office located in New York.

Sell Your Chametz Here

breadThe sale of chametz is an important law, the observance of which is necessary for the maintenance of kashrut in the Jewish home.  Chametz which is owned by Jewish people during the Passover holiday may not be used after the festival period unless it was previously sold through the procedure prescribed by Jewish law.  Our religion provides for the legal sale of chametz, with the Rabbi generally acting as the agent for the sale.

Your chametz can be sold directly with the Rabbi by seeing him in person.  Should this be difficult or inconvenient, your chametz can be sold by printing and filling out the form below, and sending it to the Rabbi at the following address:

Rabbi Norbert Weinberg
130 Crafts Street
Newton,  MA  02460


I (we) ______________________________________________ hereby authorize Rabbi Norbert Weinberg to legally sell all of our Chametz which is in my (our) possession whether it be at home, place of business or elsewhere, in accordance with the requirements and provisions of Jewish law.  It is understood that I (we) will have absolutely no benefit or use from this Chametz for the duration of the holiday and that it will be the legal property of the party whom the Rabbi shall designate as the purchaser. I (we) also cede free access to the area where the Chametz has been stored.
