Harvard settles with Jewish student who sued school for ignoring campus antisemitism

2025-05-16

Follow up to the Harvard brief in this round up from early February, where our hero was named Shabbos Kestenbaum.

[IsraelTimes] Harvard University has settled a high-profile lawsuit by an Orthodox Jewish student who accused the Ivy League school of ignoring antisemitism on campus.

Alexander Kestenbaum, who is known as Shabbos, and Harvard jointly agreed to end the case, according to a dismissal notice filed on Thursday in Boston federal court.

Jewish students say Harvard tolerated their being maligned as "murderers" and subjected to viral attacks, and accused the university of hiring professors who promoted anti-Jewish violence and spread antisemitic propaganda.

The lawsuits were brought by Students Against Antisemitism, and by Jewish Americans for Fairness in Education and the Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law.

Kestenbaum was a plaintiff in the Students Against Antisemitism lawsuit, but did not settle at the time.

He graduated from Harvard Divinity School last year and has become a growing voice in a Republican-led campaign to root out antisemitism in major American universities.
