Jewish and Muslim chaplains navigate US campus tensions and help students roiled by Israel-Hamas war

University chaplains and faith leaders are providing support and guidance to students affected by the Israel-Hamas war. They are helping students navigate complex questions and anxieties, organizing vigils and prayers, and offering messages of hope. However, they face challenges in addressing the diverse needs and concerns of students, as well as navigating tensions and debates on campuses. Some students are demanding condemnations of attacks from both sides, while others are seeking acknowledgement of Palestinian suffering.
