JL;DR SUMMARY Ari Kelman, a professor of Jewish studies at Stanford University, resigned from his role as co-chair of the university's committee to fight antisemitism after being attacked by a group of alumni and anonymous students who questioned his effectiveness due to his past links to non- or anti-Zionist groups. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
