Standing Here Like a Unicorn: How War Tore Apart My School

In part two of the two-episode season two premiere of Hot Jewish Energy: The Podcast, host Michael Valdes shares his personal journey through grad school amidst the backdrop of the October 7th attack in Israel. He discusses the impact of the war on his education, the sense of community he found at Gay Shabbat, and the challenges he faced navigating campus life and activism. Michael reflects on his experiences with harassment, the complexities of student government, and the importance of standing up for one's values in a politically charged environment.
