Eight more days on Kresge
Five months after the 4 AM police raid on the sleeping students of Students Against Genocide Encampment (MIT SAGE), we made our way back to Kresge with another tent. On October 16th, the MIT Jews for Collective Liberation (JCL) erected a sukkah to mark Sukkot during the 12th month of Israel’s horrific genocide in Palestine. In this letter, we want to explain what Sukkot is, why we chose to build our sukkah on Kresge, and why doing so is consistent with our Jewish traditions. We close by asking the MIT administration and faculty to end collaboration with Israel’s Ministry of Defense and war profiteers.
