Seems Anti-Semitism Isn't Dead in the US of A

At Northeastern University in Boston, the University Hanukkah Menorah was vandalized. In response one of the music professors and students put together this musical video.....

From Youtube:
A musical response by Northeastern students to the past Menorah vandalism on our campus. Original idea and music arrangements by MATTI KOVLER

With much appreciation to the hundreds of students and staff from Northeastern University for their participation, as well as to neighboring colleges for their enthusiasm and support.

By the way according to FBI statistics the majority of religiously based hate crimes in the USA were attacks against Jews (65%) HERE HERE

For those who are new to this blog below are the acronyms and who they belong to:

WoS aka hubby: Wise Old Sage. Name given to the husband by the boys..as opposed to me whom they just refer to as a pain in the tuchas

HSB aka highschoolboy: my younger son who is now a high school graduate.

CM1 aka collegeman: this is a moniker for my oldest who is a college graduate. We are calling him collegeman1 because his brother is collegeman2. However, CM1 is starting a masters graduate program this fall and will now, from 5/18/13, be referred to as Mr. GS or Mr. Graduate Student. He graduated with a Masters degree in Computer Science May 2015. Now our goal for him is to integrate him into an adult life, he is Mr. Young Man or Mr.YM. In the ensuing 6 months it has been decided that Mr.YM would go back to school for an additional Masters degree in software engineering, so he is now back to being Mr.GS1.

CM2 aka HSB now Mr. GS2: formerly highschoolboy who is now a college senior. He is known as collegeman2. But don't tell him, he thinks nicknaming him collegeman is idiotic, sophomoric and just plain dumb. So we will keep this just between us. He graduated with a BA May 2015. He was accepted into a Masters program in Media and Communications, so now he is Mr. Graduate Student2, or Mr. GS2.
