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.

On March 28, 149 Penn alumni and current students sent a letter calling for the punishment of eight Penn professors to Interim Penn President Larry Jameson. The letter accuses these professors of involvement in “pro-terrorism events,” having “discriminated against students … for being Jewish, Israeli, or Zionist,” negligence in their duties as teachers, and hindering “the right to freedom of thought and expression by Jewish students.” Nowhere in this letter do the authors provide examples that back up these claims. Many of these authors do not even know the professors of whom they speak. We are alarmed that so many alumni would sign onto a statement rooted in rumor, hearsay, and conspiracy.

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.

This year, after winning the regular season title and earning the right to host the inaugural Ivy League Tournament, expectations were similarly high for Penn.
