I am starting a Jewish Studies program at my local university in hopes of it being a springboard towards a masters of divinity at a local theological institute. However I fear the real risk of terroroism or violence in classes that will have a pro Jewish/Israel platform.
What would some of you reccomend I do?
Make friends with the nearest born again Christian church so that you’ll have friends near.
I am not sure that you have anything to worry about. Nearly every Theological school has some kind of Jewish studies program and no one is threatening them, at least to my knowledge. Also, there are many colleges that give this curriculum every semester and there is no mention of threats. Why are you so paranoid about terrorists making threats at this school? Has it happened before?

Good advice!
Well with what recently happened near Gaza, the fact that there is a sizable Muslism population and it is Milwaukee. Antisemetism is quite strong at every university as well.
Explore what type of weapons you can keep handy for access during difficult situations. Be creative. Plenty of non-weapons can be “weaponised”.
imho that your worries are unwarranted but if you are this concerned then perhaps you should choose another subject to study.
good suggestion — also, BE BRAVE.
