Yesterday morning, a billboard truck parked at the corner outside of my office on the University of Pennsylvania’s campus, at Walnut and 36th streets. It played a four-minute video loop of the Hamas terrorist attack of Oct. 7, 2023. These were horrific and painful images and sounds. Charred human bodies, a desperate mother fearing for her baby’s life, two young siblings crying and yelling that their older sister had been taken and was not coming back while their heartbroken parents tried in vain to console their children.

Ancient Jewish wisdom provides a framework for the ethos of scholarship. The Talmud, which is a compilation of the discussions regarding biblical Jewish law and theology, relays the following discussion: Rabbi Elazar quoted Rabbi Chanina, stating that “students of wise people, increase peace in the world.” The Hebrew term for such a person is a “talmid chacham.” The Jewish way of life advocates that the pursuit of intellectual inquiry and advancement should be motivated by the moral imperative to increase peace in the world. Scholarship motivated by any other ideal is tainted or misguided.

I’ve lived within a 3-minute walk from the LGBT Center for the entire academic year. Because of its proximity, I had hoped that it would serve as a source of community and interconnectedness for me at Penn. However, my time at the LGBT Center fell short of these expectations; my experience as a disabled, international, and queer student simply did not have much of a place at these events.

As the semester reaches its end, perhaps the most stressful time of the school year is among us. Final exams, projects, and papers that are worth a huge percentage of our grades are approaching their due dates. It feels like we have so much to do and so little time to do it all. Apart from our academic lives, club responsibilities and networking events still consume our schedule. As a result of this stressful time, students are in their own world and, unfortunately, ignoring others. Especially during a hectic time, taking time for sleep, exercise, self-care, and doing our chores can be good ways to focus on ourselves. Focusing on ourselves is definitely important, but being rude to others and not caring about the people around us is an issue.
