This is not really about Jews as much as meritocracy and whether we still aspire to that. If we no longer want meritocracy — if we no longer prioritize excellence — we might as well give up.

A new @HarvardJews report finds Jewish enrollment at @Harvard is now 7%, roughly half what it was a decade ago and down from about 25% in the late 20th century. The trend isn’t confined to the Ivies, or even to academia. Across publishing, media, and cultural institutions, Jews are quietly disappearing from spaces they once helped build. For Tablet, Jacob Savage wrote about this systemic decline, unfolding quietly across America.

“Nor did this move happen alone. Rather, it is part of a pattern, throughout Fitzgerald’s final edits of the book, of downgrading references to Jewishness while adding material calculated to make the reader look elsewhere. The “Jazz History of the World,” cited in earlier drafts as Gatsby’s answer to Buchanan’s tiresome racial theorizing, is stripped of its detail, which the name of its composer is transformed from “Epstein” to “Tossoff” (or “toss off,” transforming a marker of Jewishness into a joke about the quality of the score). A denigrating mention by Tom of the number of Jews at Gatsby’s parties is also erased.”

The Great Gatsby may be the first great American Jewish novel, whether Fitzgerald knew it or not. Hemingway saw it clearly, and answered with one of the most antisemitic characters in American fiction. tabletmag.com/sections/arts-…

Underneath the violence that led to Quentin Deranque’s death, in other words, lies the breeding ground for the current French political and identity mess, writes @marcweitzmann. On a rising antisemitic left in France. tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

“Palestine” has become more than a cause. It’s a global spectacle backed by power, a projection screen for Western anxieties. At the center of it all is Israel, not as a country, but as the West’s unresolved question. tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

There is not one place on the planet that excluded and drove out Jews without losing its influence, prominence, expertise, reputation and value. There is not one. Once you push out Jews, it is over. This is always the case.

When I was a student at Harvard from 1992 to 1996, Jews were a quarter of the student body, the new Hillel was built all glass in a central location, and the overwhelming sense was that Jews had arrived and that this was the new normal. In retrospect … it was the high point.

The erasure of Jews from American life will only lead to a weaker America. Those leading the erasure are America Last.

"Most of what Hollywood has served up this century is hyperkinetic pablum or, for its minor-league “artistic” niche, sad-sack hand-wringing," writes David Mikics in his eulogy for Hollywood tabletmag.com/sections/arts-…

I can only report that I taught at a prep school in the 90’s that had a large Jewish enrollment. A significant # of those kids went to Ivy League colleges - very much including Harvard - because a significant # of them were very, very strong students.

"Where Jewish success was once upheld as a sign of America’s strength and progress over its prejudices, Jewish 'overrepresentation' is again something to be solved, not celebrated," writes Savage. tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
