Student Lunches
During the Spring 2023 semester, the Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies hosted two student lunches to provide a place for BU students to discuss topics related to Jewish and Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights studies. These student lunches were student-focused and student-led and were facilitated by a faculty member who provided input when needed.
“Balancing Identities: Jewish in America”
In the spirit of connection and conversation, the Center hosted a student lunch on February 2, 2023. This was the first in a series of lunches designed to provide a student-led, student-focused space to discuss topics related to Jewish and Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights studies. This first lunch centered on the theme of “Balancing Identities: Jewish in America.”
“Jews in the Media: Representation Matters”
On Thursday, March 30, the Center hosted its second student lunch, focusing on “Jews in the Media: Representation Matters.” The lunch offered BU students an opportunity to discuss an important topic while connecting in a relaxed environment. In addition to enjoying refreshments, students were welcome to stay and study or engage in conversations with their classmates.
