    In this session of "Religion and Just Peace | A Series of Public Online Conversations," which took place on January 27, 2025, Shaul Magid, Visiting Professor of Modern Jewish Studies, looked at a few of the texts of Aaron Shmuel Tamares (1869-1931), an enigmatic ultra-Orthodox rabbi from Belarus who developed a theory of pacifism over the course of the first Russian revolution, the Young Turk revolt, and the Great War.

    I-9 Verification FAQs

    Why are we making this change?

    The primary reason for making this change is to increase visibility into incoming new hires and, therefore, strengthen Harvard's ability to comply with I9 requirements.

    In addition, this is bringing much needed administrative efficiencies to the schools by enabling department administrators to process new hires earlier and in fewer steps, eliminating manual workarounds and enabling earlier provisioning. This is also improving the new hire experience as they no longer need to take time to visit campus prior to their...
