With a belief that curbing and curing antisemitism begins in the classroom, Petrzela is preparing to release Volume 2 of her @NYCSchools curriculum, which provides a framework for teaching about Jewish identities, experiences, and contributions as part of the American story.

As we mark 25 years since 9/11 and the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, we remember that memory carries responsibility. May the lessons of the past shape how we confront hatred, refuse indifference, and stand with one another in the year ahead. 🤍

Dozens of students stopped by. Some were Jewish. Many were not. One student approached as he untucked his chai from inside of his shirt. Others asked questions about Judaism, learned a little more about Rosh Hashanah, and even tried their hand at blowing shofar.

This #LaborDay, take a moment to recognize our professors, who do so much more than teach. They research. They write. They mentor. They inspire. And they advocate for higher ed spaces where their Jewish colleagues and students can question, learn, and thrive. 💛 Say thank you.
