Be a Refusenik is a timely and empowering guide for Jewish students navigating intimidation, antisemitism, and pressure to abandon key parts of their identity on modern campuses. Drawing parallels to the Soviet-era refuseniks—young Jews who bravely resisted a regime determined to erase their culture—Izabella Tabarovsky shows how their courage and resilience offer vital lessons today. By weaving together historical insight and contemporary challenges, the book provides practical strategies and inspiration for a new generation of Jewish students and activists committed to standing strong, embracing their identity, and shaping a vibrant Jewish future.
