In CNN’s “Analysis: What the Jewish Community Needs Most in Its Time of Distress,” written by List College alum David Goldman, Chancellor Shuly Rubin Schwartz reflected on how important building bridges has been for the survival of the world’s 0.2% Jewish population.

“Building interreligious bridges has never been more important,” she said. “Isolation is not the answer.”
