Jewish Students, Stand Tall

A man draped in an Israeli flag walks through a group of anti-Israel protesters in University District, Wash., Oct. 13. Photo: Chin Hei Leung/Zuma PressAnti-Semitism has reared its hideous head at many American universities, and now, as Dovid Efune notes in “Give Me The Biggest Kippah You Can Find” (Houses of Worship, Oct. 20), some Jewish students are voicing concern about their safety. Don’t cave to the loud and brainwashed. I’d encourage those students to think about it this way: If you lived in Israel right now, instead of facing loud chants, hateful placards and indifferent administrators, you would be facing rockets—and worse. Israelis your age are in a fight for their lives, while all you have to do is hold your head high and fight back with your words.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Alexander Nguyen, a software engineer who moved from New York City to Seattle for a job at Amazon. It was his first job out of college, and he says it was the loneliest time of his life. Finally, after a three-month job search, things started looking up: I received a software-development-engineering job offer from Amazon in 2020. Back when I got the job at Amazon, all I was thinking about was my tech career and the $150,000 salary. Looking back now, I realize perhaps I should have looked a little bit harder for opportunities in New York before taking the first tech job that came my way.
