In this episode of 'Here I Am With Shai Davidai,' Gabi Schiller shares her background, describing herself as a loud and confrontational Jew, especially when encountering antisemitism. She recounts her journey into activism, which was catalyzed by the conflict between Israel and Hamas in May 2021.

Gabi also talks about her role at Stand With Us, where she works with high school students to combat antisemitism and educate them about Jewish history and Israel.

Gabi stresses the importance of schools being willing to engage in dialogue and adopt policies to protect Jewish students. She also shares her frustration with anti-Zionist Jews, whom she feels betray their community by aligning with anti-Israel sentiments.

Gabi reflects on the emotional impact of witnessing antisemitic incidents, particularly a disturbing event at Columbia University where Jewish students were harassed. She expresses her fear and horror at the parallels to historical antisemitism and the importance of standing up against such hatred.

The episode concludes with Gabi discussing her social media activism under the name Yehuda Amram, aiming to represent and speak for many Jews who share her sentiments. She also highlights the importance of Jewish symbols and solidarity in the face of rising antisemitism.
