The Columbia University professor whose office door was defaced with a swastika (as reported HERE on YW) has replaced the symbol of hate with a Mezuzah; reports the NY Sun.

At a rally of students and faculty on the steps of the university’s Teachers College yesterday, the professor targeted by the anti-Semitic attack last week, Elizabeth Midlarsky, said that while Jews at Columbia are comfortable, they will never be safe. She said she was affixing the mezuzah, a small parchment scroll in a box, to her office door as an affirmation of her Jewish faith.

Ms. Midlarsky, who researches the Holocaust, linked the recent surge of anti-Semitic incidents on campus to the university’s decision to host President Ahmadinejad of Iran on campus in September.
