One of the most common responses we hear:

“But blood libel doesn’t happen anymore.”

Sadly, it still does, which is exactly why we teach it.

The names, technologies, and headlines change. The underlying trope often doesn’t.

Understanding blood libel isn’t about rejecting criticism. It’s about recognizing when Jews are portrayed as uniquely monstrous, cruel, or inhuman.

Media literacy matters. Be careful when you read the New York Times.

Years of studying. Late nights. Tuition bills. Sacrifice. Persistence.

Graduation should be about celebrating that achievement—not political disruptions.

We’re glad to see schools enforcing neutral ceremony policies so graduates and their families can enjoy the day they’ve worked so hard for.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓

We hear the word “apartheid” a lot.

But what does life in Israel actually look like on the ground?

On a soccer field in Israel, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Druze kids wear the same jerseys.
They pass to each other.

They win together.

They learn to trust each other.

Not as headlines.

As teammates.

It’s not a perfect picture.

But it’s a real one.

This reflection comes from a recent educators mission with .

This Memorial Day, we honor the servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and the families who sacrificed alongside them.

The freedoms we have – to speak openly, to share ideas, to educate, to advocate, and to stand up for what we believe in – are only possible because of their service and sacrifice.

That sacrifice is real, and for many families, deeply personal.

Today, we pause with gratitude for those who gave their lives so that all of us can continue to use our voices freely. 🇺🇸

Judaism doesn’t fear questions.

It was built on them.

Shavuot commemorates the Jewish people receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai — a tradition rooted in learning, debate, interpretation, and wrestling with difficult ideas across generations.

But today, many students encounter Jewish identity through slogans, headlines, and misinformation online.

At TribeTalk, we believe students deserve better.

They deserve context.
They deserve complexity.

And they deserve the ability to ask hard questions.

Congratulations to our Program and Development Associate, Jori Balsam, for being featured in The Rashi School’s 40 at 40!

“As I move forward as an educator and a coach, the biggest thing I am trying to do is appreciate my students as both learners and individuals. Just as my Rashi teachers did for me.”

Jori demonstrates that strong, proud, and supported leaders start with strong, proud, and supportive education.
Mazal tov!

Today is Yom Yerushalayim - Jerusalem Day.

Jerusalem is often reduced to headlines, conflict, and politics.

But for Jews, Jerusalem is also memory. Spirituality. History. Connection. Culture. Home.

This Yom Yerushalayim, members of the TribeTalk team shared one word that comes to mind when they think of Jerusalem.

What’s yours?

response misses the point. If the remarks were truly “inappropriate,” why was the speaker allowed to continue? Universities know how to cut the mic when rules are broken.

A vague apology and promise to “review future programming” is not accountability.

Commencements have been politicized for years — acting surprised now is negligence.

Jewish and Israeli students should not have to wonder whether their graduation ceremony will turn hostile while administrators issue polished statements afterward.

Students, families, alumni, and donors should demand real policies, real enforcement, and real accountability. “Sorry” is not leadership.

Lag BaOmer starts tonight.
A holiday shaped by persecution — and the courage to stand your ground.
Not just then. Now.

We tell students to be proud.
Until being visibly Jewish makes someone uncomfortable.
Then it becomes: keep it low key.

But that’s exactly the moment this holiday speaks to.

If you experience antisemitism in your school:
Take photos or screenshots
Report it and keep records
Ask how this would be handled for any other form of hate
If it’s minimized, escalate

You are not the problem for being visible.
A system that protects comfort over safety is.

TribeTalk prepares students to recognize antisemitism and respond in real time.
