J Street U Penn Executive Board | A crucial voice for Israel
(03/28/13 2:04am)
Last week, the Hillel Board of Greater Philadelphia and the Penn Hillel Board of Overseers gave J Street U Penn approval to host an organization called Breaking the Silence at Penn Hillel. We are a Hillel-affiliated, pro-Israel, pro-peace student group that advocates for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Normally these types of events don’t require such high-level approval. But because of the political beliefs of certain donors to Penn Hillel, this one was fraught with controversy.
