If you want to know how unsafe Jews feel in diaspora right now, here is an interesting fact:
There is a place in the world where 1400 Jews were mercilessly slaughtered just 3 weeks ago. And right now, most of the world's Jewish population is thinking about moving TO that place.
BREAKING: Federal court holds that punishing a Jew’s pro-Israel expression while tolerating another player’s anti-Israel expression plausibly states a claim of religious, national-origin and racial discrimination.
TLDR:
Pokémon used Motion to Dismiss.
It wasn’t very effective.
We got an early taste of New York Magazine's new direction in the days after 10/7.
In September 2023, we got a call: my husband @BenZevG would be featured in @NYMag's list of the most powerful New Yorkers. A (lovely) reporter interviewed multiple people about our synagogue. Mark Peterson came to take pictures of services right after Yom Kippur. The piece was filed.
Then came 10/7. That Friday, we got another call. He'd been cut. "Editors got spooked," we were told.
This was a little story about a shul drawing young Jews back to faith. It had nothing to do with the Middle East. Overnight, New York Jews like us -- Orthodox, deeply connected to our ancestral homeland -- had become untouchable. It was chilling. I sensed, in that moment, that this would be the beginning of Jews being pushed out of cultural institutions, and eventually, erased.
So if you ever wondered why that list had 49 names instead of 50, now you know. They cut the rabbi.
Mamdani’s "first-ever" antisemitism strategy is mostly just the Adams plan that he deleted on Day 1 of his administration, but with every page that touches Israel torn out.
That is the whole review, the rest is commentary.
But now that you are here, let me explain:
Our clients are deeply concerned by the recent plunge in their NYT shares. We hope the Times releases the requested books and records without delay. Restoring credibility starts with practicing the transparency it demands of others.@NationalCenter@AGJamesUthmeier https://t.co/tUBNCNWT2G
Dear @nytimes :
On behalf of shareholders we are demanding the records. Not to debate your politics. To see whether the Board did its job while the company’s credibility, reputation, and exposure were put at risk.
You told the public there was nothing to see.
Let's find out.
Victory: The International Roundnet Federation told Team Israel it had to compete under a neutral name and flag, with no Israeli or Jewish symbols. @NJACLaw and Seiden Law said no. Now Team Israel will compete openly, proudly, and under its own banner.
We don't play that game.
The Movement Against Antizionism (MAAZ) condemns the shooting in San Diego and stands in solidarity with the Muslim community at this moment. MAAZ firmly rejects Islamophobia, antizionism, and all forms of racism.
Grateful to @JewishPress for highlighting the work that
@NJACLaw and @WeAreTouro are doing to take back our campuses.

With all due respect Debbie, according to the school leadership, the men kept peeking into the girls’ yard and the school had to build a fence and put up cameras. This has nothing to do with what their religion is, it’s inappropriate for grown men to round up against the wall of an all girls school. Whether or not this is deliberate, the perception of this is especially and understandably alarming amidst the concerns of the jewish community. No one is stopping them from performing their religious obligations, in fact I fully support that, but it doesn’t have to be against the wall of an all girls school.
אלכסנדר המילטון ידע עברית שוטפת (נכון למה שהיה נחשב לשוטף במאה ה18) ואת עשרת הדיברות בעברית בעל פה כי הוא למד בבית ספר היחיד באי נביס שהיה מוכן ללמד ממזר - בית הספר היהודי.
Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.
Breaking News: The District Court of Colorado has ruled that @FranceskAlbs can no longer evade service in our defamation suit and that we can serve her via email...and @X. Here goes: https://t.co/3nX3K66bCi

This is an ALL GIRLS Jewish school in my district. I’m all for prayer and free speech, but why do a bunch of GROWN MEN need to do this right outside of a school full of little Jewish girls??? Is not this what MOSQUES are for? Is this intentional? Mayor Mamdani @NYCMayor any words of wisdom on why all of a sudden they’d feel compelled to do this?
