Rabbi resigns from Harvard's antisemitism board following school president's 'painfully inadequate testimony'

Rabbi David Wolpe announced he is exiting Harvard's antisemitism board as the university's president continues facing backlash over comments she made at a congressional hearing.

Rabbi David Wolpe, a visiting scholar at Harvard Divinity School, announced his exit from Harvard's antisemitism advisory committee, offering a "Hanukkah message" ahead of the Jewish holiday.  Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to joseph.wulfsohn@fox.com and on Twitter: @JosephWulfsohn.

"As of today I have resigned from the antisemitism advisory committee at Harvard," Wolpe began his message Thursday on X. "Without rehashing all of the obvious reasons that have been endlessly adumbrated online, and with great respect for the members of the committee, the short explanation is that both events on campus and the painfully inadequate testimony reinforced the idea that I cannot make the sort of difference I had hoped."
