CisternYard: Jewish Student Union commemorates Avi Schaefer

To some Americans, the Israeli Palestinian conflict is just an occasional headline in the news. But to Avi Schaefer, a Jewish Santa Barbara native, it was much more than that. On Feb. 8, the Jewish Student Union (JSU) hosted a commemorative ceremony in honor of Shaefer’s life and legacy, as well as the creation of the Avi Shaefer Fund. It was held at 5 p.m. in Randolph Hall and a traditional Shabbat dinner followed.
