About three years ago, my mother asked if we should get flood insurance for the house, and my father laughed in her face. Yet, over the break, our house was nearly at risk of flood damage.
As of this semester, Basement Records is back on campus to facilitate connections between student artists. Like many other clubs, Basement Records died out when Brandeis went remote during the pandemic. Originally founded in 2019 by Avi Hershbein ’19 as a student-run record label (without contracts, of course), the club made a quick splash, but failed to pick up steam. Without online recruitment opportunities, all the members graduated without successors. Basement Records, it seemed, was dead.
The Brandeis Innovation Center held their eighth Annual Brandeis Innovation Showcase on Nov. 17, presenting the latest inventions from the Brandeis community. The event featured 16 projects, and attendees were able to vote on their favorite one.

A deep and peppy-sounding “Shaaaaalom Brandeis!” floats across the airwaves. It’s time for Prof. Guy Anetebi’s radio show, which airs on WBRS 100.1 FM every Thursday at 1 p.m. With energy and chutzpah, Antebi is ready to serve and engage with students studying “intermediate high to advanced low” Hebrew.
On the afternoon of Nov. 17, the standard post-lunch hum of Usdan was replaced by chants and shouts as a handful of students and around two dozen dining workers gathered near Louis’ Deli for yet another demonstration organized by the Brandeis Leftist Union, a student organization and dining workers. Soon, the group began walking toward the entrance of the Usdan Kitchen dining hall. Dining workers at The Hive joined in with the group as they passed by.
The Nov. 19 Joseph’s Transportation crash , which resulted in dozens of injuries and the tragic loss of Brandeis student Vanessa Mark, has brought the safety of University transportation operations into question. On Nov. 30, the Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Andrea Dine notified Brandeis students via email that the Boston/Cambridge shuttle would be suspended for the rest of the semester “while we investigate alternatives for this route.” Joseph’s is still being used for the Waltham shuttle.
It has been more than two weeks since the tragic shuttle accident, and the Justice editorial board continues to send our deepest condolences to all parties impacted by this event. While the University has held events to bring students together during these difficult times, it is important to remember that each member of Brandeis will handle these emotions differently. There are no words we can use to express the devastation this incident has caused. As an editorial board, we want to let the campus community know that we are listening to them. We also want to address the difficulty of balancing school work in the wake of these incidents.
I think “The Addams Family” might be one of the first shows I remember watching. My dad used to put on the old 1960s TV show when I was little. I don’t remember many details from any of the episodes, but I do remember snapping along to the show’s catchy and iconic theme song. Reboots can be seen as unnecessary and uncreative, especially for characters like The Addams Family, who have starred in beloved adaptations, such as 1991’s “The Addams Family” film and the aforementioned 1960’s TV show, across half a century. I’m inclined to agree. For instance, I had no interest in watching the recent 2019 animated Addams family movie. However, Netflix’s “Wednesday’’ is a welcome exception to the trend of unoriginal reboots.
As campus is filled with more students than ever before, the demand for student employment has reached new heights. But many positions that could be options for student employment, like staffing the dining halls or other food service providers on campus, are not open to students. The Justice contacted both Student Financial Services and Harvest Table executives over email to get a better understanding of the future of student employment through Harvest Table.
In light of the recent tragic shuttle accident on Saturday night, the Justice editorial board would like to offer our deepest condolences to the students, friends, families, and others who have been impacted by this event. We especially want to express our sadness and condolences to the friends and family of Vanessa Mark. Our hearts go out to those who were on the bus, and we hope that everyone injured in the crash makes a speedy recovery.
On Nov. 8, the Office of the President sponsored a discussion on the Israeli elections and its implications for the nation and its relations with the U.S. Just a week earlier, on Nov. 1, Israel held legislative elections — the fifth round of elections in just three years — to elect the 120 members of the 25th Knesset, Israel’s unicameral parliament. Two days later, former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition won the majority with 64 seats.

Last semester, when @brandeismarriagepact launched on Instagram with a stylish dating questionnaire in its bio, campus was abuzz with speculation and excitement. The service, first established at Stanford in 2017, pairs students whose values — ethical, political, and social — match up. Questions range in intensity, from “Are you an only child?” to “Would you be comfortable with your child being gay?” Survey results are first released as just the initials of your match, followed by full names and compatibility scores a few days later. Both ends of the match are notified, leaving it up to them to pursue any kind of connection.
On Tuesday, Nov. 8, voters across the country went to the polls to vote in the 2022 midterm elections. Many candidates made history, like Florida’s Maxwell Frost, who will become the first member of “Generation Z” to serve in Congress. Candidates here in Massachusetts made history as well.
Upon 17 year- old Mahsa Amini’s death, after being held in police custody on Sept. 16, women’s rights protests broke out across Iran. Western coverage of Iranian revolutions have historically minimized women’s influence over the movements. This continues today. The focus of media coverage is rapidly shifting as international reporters compete for eye-catching headlines.
