Emory University Chaplaincy Student Worker Spotlight
Morgan Lee (he/him) is from Johnson City, Tennessee, and is an Emory junior planning to graduate Spring 2027. He is working towards a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Law. While at Emory, he has been involved in Beloved Community, Rock Climbing, WISE, and anything religious on campus. What Morgan likes best about working at OSRL is “the people! Nothing is better than sitting at the desk and getting to talk to all the chaplains and staff as they come and go throughout the day. I'm so honored and blessed that I get to learn from them and know them!” His current super power is his attitude, but the gift they’d like to have is the power to heal. When not working or studying, you might find him playing/writing music, playing games, or eating doughnuts.

From Emory Jewish Chaplain Rabbi Jordan Braung: Shabbat Reading to Refresh Your Soul
“Rabbi, I’m a bad Jew.” There may be no statement that I hear more often when I introduce myself as a rabbi to a new person who happens to be Jewish. It is an odd thing, this immediate and reflexive — inherited? — confession.
I should be used to it, but it always catches me a bit off guard, “No, I’m sure you’re a wonderful Jew,” I find myself stumbling. Or, “Believe me, I’m not here to judge what type of Jew you are.” Or even, “What does it mean to be a ‘bad Jew’ or a ‘good Jew’?” Read the full piece here.

The Tam Institute for Jewish Studies: Rethinking Jews and Race: Eric Zemmour and Far-Right Jewish Identity in France
Frday, November 14, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., Zoom Seminar
This seminar delves into the writings of Eric Zemmour, a far-right French polemicist and presidential candidate of Algerian Jewish origin who reframes himself as a native white Frenchman. It examines his use of xenophobic and anti-Muslim rhetoric, rooted in the "great replacement theory," and his defense of a perceived Judeo-Christian French identity. Drawing upon Baldwin and Fanon, the paper argues that Zemmour's ideology reveals a deeply embedded anti-Semitism behind his anti-Muslim rhetoric, highlighting the enduring postcolonial entanglements of race, religion, and fascism in the French Republic.
This session is based on a pre-circulated paper that should be read in advance. To receive the text and the Zoom link, please register here. For more information, email brent.buckley@emory.edu.
