Students’ needs must be met, not ignored
By Ira Jacobs | Posted: Monday, January 27, 2014 12:00 am
When I attended Rutgers College 40 years ago, the Rutgers Hillel “building” was a second-floor
walkup on George Street, midway between the Rutgers and Douglass College. Religious services were
sometimes held in the rabbi’s home due to a lack of space. There was no Jewish presence on the
main campus. It does my heart good to finally see the needs of Jewish students being properly
addressed with a new Hillel building. Colleen Jolly is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” trying to veil her
anti-Semitism, as bigots often do. If she feels so strongly about the urban renewal of New Brunswick,
let her personally raise funds for the purpose — I would applaud the effort. My response to her
commentary will be to increase my contribution to Rutgers Hillel.
Ira Jacobs is a Rutgers College class of 1973 alumnus.
