Thank you @UCSF for taking a stand against antisemitism and harmful conspiracy theories. We need our institutions to continue to speak out during this troubling time.

Jewish Americans embody what the late Rabbi Jonathan Sacks said:
“A people whose capacity for joy cannot be destroyed is itself indestructible.”
Rallying with pride, unity, and even joy in the face of pain – just like the Hanukkah candles that defiantly burned miraculously.

The story of Hanukkah is one of survival against great odds, and the miracle of faith. This Hanukkah, we celebrate our grantees working to support Israel and the global Jewish community today—and to ensure a brighter tomorrow.
Happy Hanukkah!
