Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Society are fighting discrimination and harassment by offering loans to those who need to flee​


After Donald Trump’s election in 2024, Ci and her family knew they had to get out of Alabama. Ci, who’s not using her last name because of safety concerns, is Jewish and transgender. She and her husband have four adopted children of color. The harassment they endured for over two years from neighbors, she says, was transphobic, antisemitic and racist. And after Trump’s inauguration, it got even worse.



“We lived in an area that was beautiful to look at,” she told me, “but underneath was holding a lot of hatred for those that didn’t fit in.”

Are they doing this for Harvard and Columbia students that are Jews also?
