In a powerful statement against the rising tide of antisemitism on college campuses across the United States, Adam Hasner—the new president of Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton—marked his inauguration by affixing a mezuzah to his office doorpost.
Hasner, who was unanimously elected by the board of trustees on Feb. 10 and officially took office on March 10, was guided by Rabbi Boruch Shmuel Liberow, who co-directs Chabad-Lubavitch at FAU alongside his wife, Rivka.
“We host Shabbat and holiday services and meals, classes, coaching for students, social events, and we launched a Leadership Training program based on the Rebbe’s model of leadership,” he explains. Beyond serving students, the center operates the Boca Chesed House, providing accommodations for families of patients at Boca Raton Regional Hospital.
