My son just finished high school and is considering taking a summer course (technical) in the adult education side of BCC. He’s visibly Jewish (yarmulka, tzitzis, as much of a beard as a scruffy 18 year old can grow). Idea us for me to drop him there in the morning and he’d find his way back by Jersey Transit.
I mentioned this to my family and everyone is freaking out. How can you send him to a college campus right now, theres a lot of antisemitism on campuses, there’s a war on, he’s never had any exposure to the outside world, (OK, so he’s been in Sinai Academy if you know what that entails) and something could happen to him.
Going under cover (I.e without a yarmulke) is not an option for him, nor would I ask it of him.
So is anyone familiar with this campus, and are Jews welcome/safe there, or would he be targeted?
(Edit to add: he doesn’t always know when not to talk.)
Gut Shabbos all, I’ll look for answers motzoei Shabbos. Thanks.
