Cornell University Faces Antisemitic Threats: Friday Classes Cancelled

Cornell University canceled Friday classes in response to recent antisemitic threats made by a student, Patrick Dai, who posted about killing Jewish students and shooting up a dining hall that serves kosher food. The university will observe a "community day" to recognize the stress caused by these events. Dai has been charged with making threats to kill or injure others using interstate communications. The incident highlights the rise in antisemitic events in the US, which has prompted concerns about the safety and well-being of Jewish communities on college campuses.
