FEATURING ELEZ BERESIN-SCHER - As university students continue to hold their ground at Free Gaza encampments on campuses around the nation, Jewish students remain central to the movement.
In January 2024, a Bryn Mawr College sociology major Elez Beresin-Scher spoke with YES! Senior Editor Sonali Kolhatkar about the Shabbat for Ceasefire campus actions she was organizing.
Beresin-Scher, a junior who has been active with Jewish Voice for Peace since her freshman year, has now joined a newly set-up Free Gaza encampment on her college campus. She returned to YES! Presents: Rising Up With Sonali from the Bryn Mawr encampment to explain why she was protesting.
