Sending love and respect to the families of all those who lost someone that morning. Grateful for the incredible first responders who went up, into harm’s way to do their jobs and save lives. And to all fellow New Yorkers who love this city so much… #9/11 #NeverForget

@Howard_Lovy That's wonderful!

Tonight and tomorrow, Jews everywhere will observe Tisha B'Av, a day dedicated to #fasting and mourning. This solemn occasion marks the anniversary of many tragedies that have befallen the #Jewish people. We wish all those observing a meaningful and easy fast.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Second Gentlemen Doug Emhoff spoke at the memorial of a deadly 1982 antisemitic attack in France today, condemning the “ferocious surge of antisemitism.”

He said: “Since the heinous terrorist attacks on Oct. 7 — and the ensuing Israel-Hamas war — we are witnessing the worst wave of Jew-hatred the globe has experienced since World War II.”

And after declaring, “I love being Jewish,” Emhoff walked down the street to grab falafel at an Israeli restaurant.

It's so wonderful to see Jews in the spotlight embracing their identities and inspiring us all!

America’s Got Talent heard from the young voices of Israeli and Palestinian singers in this moving rendition of Philip Philip’s “Home” - grab a tissue. And thank Gd for the courage of these singers with such brave hearts. #peaceispossible @jerusalemchorus @AGT

Here is my @TheTonyAwards acceptance speech. It’s about gummy bears and Broadway and optimism and contains inadequate thank yous, a smidge about what’s happening in Israel/Palestine, and one inappropriate Stereophonic joke.

And Adam Brace. I miss you a lot, man. I love you.

[Anna Stolley Persky @AnnaStolleyP]

@AlexEdelman @TheTonyAwards Here's to optimism, nuance, and gummy bears. Loved your show.

[Chaim Bruk @MontanaJew]

A Jew named Chaim gets into an Uber with a Muslim named Yousef…

He’s a Moroccan living in Pittsburgh for thirty five years and I’m a New Yorker living in Montana for seventeen. He and his wife have three children, Chavie and I have five. He prays five times each day and I pray three. He wants his children to stick to his faith and I want that for my kids too.

Though we agreed not to talk about the “stuff we won’t agree on”, which of course meant Israel, we had a deep conversation that taught me so much.

He shared with me about his visit to Gettysburg and learning about those who “fought for a cause”. We discussed how too many Americans don’t have a principled “cause” that they believe in and are willing to fight for, and therefore change their “ideology” on a whim.

We spoke about Halal and Kosher, mosques and synagogues, Marrakech and Jerusalem, our mutual love of mountains and nature, and we agreed that our world deserves peace.

When we reached my destination, he got out of the car, shook my hand and gave me a hug.

We didn’t solve the issues in the Middle East or the challenges with jihadists seeking to harm Jews and Christians, but, I believe, we brought more unity to our fractured world and brought us one step closer to redemption.

My Rebbe taught me that change happens one person at a time, one conversation at a time, one good deed at a time, I hope to continue doing my part.

@brookerabe @ProfDBernstein @mattyglesias Fairfax parent here. Belong to conservative shul. Half the folks at least are dem, if not more. What do we all talk about? Are our kids safe in high school, college, even K through 12 and who is doing something about it? That's it. We are very worried and looking at leaders.
