What’s Really Happening in the Group Chat

The group chat is not just a group chat.For young people, it is where friendships are built, plans are made, social status is negotiated, identity is tested, and harm can spread quickly. It is also one of the places where students encounter cruelty, exclusion, disinformation, antisemitism, and other forms of identity-based targeting — often away from adult view, but with real consequences for how they feel, learn, and show up in school and in life.In this episode of Boston Jewish Now, Spencer Cronin, JCRC’s Director of Educational Partnerships, speaks with <a href="https://www.bu.edu/sociology/profile/jill-walsh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Dr. Jill Walsh</a>, sociologist, researcher, Boston University lecturer, and founder of Digital Aged. They unpack the social dynamics and parts of digital culture parents may not realize are shaping their children’s daily lives online.This conversation is part of JCRC’s broader K–12 work: helping schools understand the online culture shaping students’ lives, respond to antisemitism and identity-based targeting, and build safer, more inclusive school communities for Jewish students alongside all students.Digital spaces can help young people find belonging and connection, especially when they feel isolated offline. But chats, algorithms, viral content, and peer pressure can also normalize cruelty and make it much harder for students to push back when hate shows up.This episode offers families and educators a clearer way to understand the digital world young people are navigating, and practical guidance for talking with them about it so we can help shape healthier school communities and healthier teens.

A Bad Deal in Somerville, an Ambiguous Deal with Iran

In this episode of Boston Jewish Now, we unpack two verydifferent fights that raise a similar question: what happens when decisions are made about Jewish safety and belonging without the people most affected beingfully heard?The conversation begins in Somerville, where Jeremy recently testified before the City Council as it considered an ordinance tied to Israel divestment. Jeremy explains why JCRC showed up, what Shalom Somerville and local Jewish residents have been facing, and why local campaigns around Israel are more than just symbolic foreign policy debates. In Somerville, many Jewish residents have experienced these fights as a sustained climate of hostility, intimidation, and exclusion from public life in the city they call home.We also cover the possibility of a new agreement over Iran’snuclear program. Rather than rush to call it good or bad before the details are public, Jeremy argues for a more basic standard: release the agreement, brief Congress, and allow serious review by lawmakers, foreign policy experts, andnuclear nonproliferation experts.We discuss why Congress has to be part of any long-termforeign policy commitment, why American global credibility depends on commitments that can outlast a single administration and simply be overturned, and why Israel’s security interests cannot be treated as an afterthought indecisions involving Iran and its proxies.

Platner, Mamdani, and What We Expect From Civic Leaders

In this episode of Boston Jewish Now, JCRC CEO Jeremy Burton discusses what Jewish communities should expect from civic leaders — in moments of celebration, in moments of pain, and in moments when antisemitism and public Jewish life are being tested. The conversation covers Toronto’s March with Israel, Mamdani and New York’s Israel parade, and the question of what it means for civic leaders to show up for Jewish communities. Jeremy also discusses Graham Platner, Ralph Northam, Jake Auchincloss, and the double standard around racism and antisemitism in public life. The episode also covers Clover Food Lab and kosher food access in Boston, why consumer data privacy is a Jewish safety issue, and the importance of nonprofit security funding in the Massachusetts state budget.Find your legislators: https://malegislature.gov/Search/FindMyLegislator
