New Jersey Rabbi Joshua Kahn explains his high school's decision to prohibit college reps from talking with students unless the university has a safety plan amid anti-Israel protests.
A Jewish high school is taking extra precautions to keep students safe amid the rise of antisemitism by refusing to allow college recruiters to come speak to students unless their university has a campus safety plan in place. Rabbi Joshua Kahn is the rosh yeshiva at the Torah Academy of Bergen County in Teaneck, New Jersey, and he joined 'America's Newsroom' to discuss how the school has taken action to make sure its college-bound graduates stay protected.
Kahn said that the new rule to ensure the safety of students was not something that was 'planned for' but is vital to implement moving forward as antisemitism continues to spread on campuses nationwide. 'It is not something we planned for, but it is something that's of critical importance to us,' Kahn said. 'We view our students as if they're our children, and we need to know that we're going to send them to safe places, places that will care for them.
