The implications of the most recent Israeli elections

 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.

Amazon Web Services CEO Adam Selipsky on effective leadership and lifelong learning

When Adam Selipsky first took over as chief executive of the Seattle-based Tableau Software, some employees were hesitant to embrace him. For starters, he was succeeding a charismatic cofounder who was deeply popular throughout the company. And then there was the culture question — Selipsky arrived in 2016 after spending 11 years at Amazon, which had a notoriously rigorous environment that some at Tableau feared would infiltrate their more upbeat way of life.

Men’s and Women’s Soccer fall short on Senior Day

This past Friday, Nov. 5, the men’s and women’s varsity soccer teams faced off against New York University in their final games. As the last home match of the season, both teams honored their seniors and graduate students whose careers were coming to an end. The men’s team honored Max Blacker, Aiden Guthro, Isaac Mukula, Josh Gans, Forrest Shimazu, Khalil Winder, and Sammy Guttell. The women’s team honored Jessica Murawsky, Bailey Cullen, Juliette Carreiro, Makenna Hunt, Jess Herman, Morgan Clark, Meaghan McDonough, Sabrina Salov, Caroline Swan, and Ruby Siegel. Both teams fought to the end, but unfortunately, they fell short of securing a win to cap off the season.

‘We try to do the best we can;’ Facilities custodians faced with impossible workloads

On a typical morning, the alarm clock blares at 3:30 a.m., and Brandeis Facilities employees begin to get ready for the day long before the sun even peeks over the horizon. Bleary-eyed and exhausted, they pull their light blue “Brandeis Facilities” t-shirts over their heads and begin their commute to campus, preparing for another day of physically and mentally draining work.

Countering Columbus and colonization: Indigenous Peoples’ Day at Brandeis

When Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, he discovered the Americas and gave European settlers access to the bountiful lands overseas — or so the old, whitewashed tale goes. But Indigenous leaders like Jean-Luc Pierite are working to change this narrative.

Brandeis Volleyball seniors go out with a bang

The Brandeis volleyball team entered their Oct. 27 game against the Wellesley College Blue 10-13 overall, looking to put away a win for their last home match of the season.

The team led for almost the whole match and won the sets 25-16, 25-17, and 25-15.

‘Triangle of Sadness’

“Triangle of Sadness” is the newest addition to the last three months of independent and horror film success. On May 5, 2022, the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, but it was released on Oct. 7 in the United States. It is already having a significant impact on arthouse theaters. In the independent Nashville theater I saw it in this past weekend, the house was packed. However, the production did not manage to make it on many screens in major theaters, leading to a paltry box office total of $4.8 million on a $15.6 million budget. The film was directed by Ruben Ostlund and produced by Erik Hemmendorff and Phillippe Bober. 

Why the actions by Harvest Table leadership are condemnable and unacceptable

On Sept 7, the University’s new dining provider Harvest Table  abruptly fired Kevintz Merisier, a longtime catering lead, with no warning. In the wake of Merisier’s yet-unexplained dismissal, the Brandeis Leftist Union created a petition demanding his reinstatement and organized a joint student-worker delegation on Sept. 22 to deliver the letter, which garnered over 600 signatures. When the students attempted to deliver the petition to Director of Hospitality Clayton Hargrove, he evaded the group and called Brandeis Police for “police assistance.” Hargrove declined to rehire Merisier on Sept. 27, and Harvest Table representatives have refused to provide statements or interviews to the Justice.
