In our very first episode of Chai-er Ed, we sit down with Ben Marcus, a student at Brown University, who has faced antisemitism on campus—but refused to back down. Ben shares his powerful journey of resilience, how he overcame challenges, and what it took to transform adversity into leadership.
From confronting hate to building a stronger Jewish community, Ben’s story is one of courage, perseverance, and pride. Tune in as we explore what it means to not just settle, but to stand up, speak out, and shape the future.
