Malka Productions Presents: Shabbos Kestenbaum- From Harvard to Capitol Hill
Shabbos Kestenbaum is the lead plaintiff against Harvard University in the first case in history to go to trial alleging pervasive and systemic antisemitism. He is a regular contributor on national media, has testified before United States congress, and the Israeli Knesset. Shabbos has elevated the voices of Jewish students all over America through his strategy meetings with Israel’s minister of Foreign Affairs, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and cooperation with senators on Capitol Hill, and lectures internationally on Jewish communal issues.
A recipient of the Voices of Iron Award, which honors Israel Advocacy warriors, Shabbos was invited to the Knesset in January to be part of the ceremony, and speak on a panel with Eylon Levy and Lizzy Savetsky.
Shabbos has courageously stood up for Jewish students facing discrimination. His leadership and activism have made him a powerful voice for Jewish pride and resilience in the face of adversity.
