Gotta love Tovah Feldshuh who plays Noah’s mother, Bina, a strong-willed Soviet émigré;
“To accuse the Jewish people of genocide is wild. It’s right out of Hitler’s playbook. You take the victim and you make the victim the perpetrator.”

“my bagels Jewish” is the best thing PR we’ve had in years

As Trump posts AI videos of him assaulting Stephen Colbert, here’s what Colbert was doing:

Dancing with his wife, having fun at the Fired & Festive!” afterparty in NYC.

Here's to Stephen Colbert, a man of great integrity and wit. Onward, friend, to bigger and better things.

People say the left and the right can’t agree on anything these days. But there is this one thing:

[the dutchess of bushwick @ktrivs]

you can’t step outside in nyc without being hit with sheer force of it. hundreds of years of compounded creativity, talent, and innovation from some of the most gifted human spirits. this city was built brick by brick from nothing. no place compares.

Happy Jewish American Heritage Month from Jewish on Campus.

I believe that Rachel Goldberg-Polin and her husband Jon, will go down in history as two of the most transformative Jews of then 21st century. They’ve inspired me in ways I’ll never be able to explain. My heroes — our heroes.

If you live in NYC, it’s very important that you continue to be a tourist in your own city.

Remembering the giants and humble people that built this place, the privilege it is to live here while many making pilgrimages just to visit once in their lives, and seeing things from a refreshed perspective will keep you forever grateful to be a part of it, and remind you to never waste a moment basking in and trying to save what is still left.

I’ll never get tired of seeing Hamas survivor Alon Ohel play the piano again.

After two years of waiting for his freedom, seeing him happy and reunited with music feels like a miracle.

I return to this space today to pay tribute to my sweet, beloved Tatiana, who left this earth today. I return to this space to pay tribute and honor her loving and supportive family, who came together and did everything they possibly could do to help her. I return to this space heartbroken because Tatiana loved life. She loved her life, and she fought like hell to try to save it.

I cannot make sense of this. I cannot make any sense of it at all. None. Zero.

Tatiana was a great journalist, and she used her words to educate others about the earth and how to save it. She created a beautiful life with her extraordinary husband George, and children Eddie and Josie. She fought like a warrior. She was valiant, strong, courageous.

My heart has always been with my cousin Caroline ever since we were little kids. My entire being is with her now. What a rock she has been. What a source of love she has been with Ed, Rose, Rory, Jack, George, Eddie, Josie, and all of Tatiana’s cousins and friends and the amazing doctors who tried so hard.

A few weeks ago, Tatiana wrote so beautifully about her diagnosis and her battle with this horrendous disease. If you haven’t read her words, please honor her by doing so (the article is linked below). Her piece is extraordinary. Whatever your faith, please pray for Tatiana and her grieving family. Tatiana was the light, the humor, the joy. She was smart, wicked smart, as they say, and sassy. She was fun, funny loving, caring, a perfect daughter, sister, mother, cousin, niece, friend, all of it…

Those of us left behind will make sure Eddie and Josie know what a beautiful, courageous spirit their mother was and will always be. She takes after her extraordinary mother, Caroline. May we all hold Tatiana’s family in our collective embrace not just today, but in the days ahead, and may each of you who read this know how lucky you are to be alive right now. Please pause and honor your life. It truly is such a gift. ♥️

How sweet it would be if NYC showed the world tonight that we didn’t get duped by Zohran, after all. 🙏 🙏🙏

I know I'm not alone these days in thinking about the parents (and families) of those who became known as "The Beautiful Six:"

Hersh Goldberg-Polin 23
Eden Yerushalmi 24
Carmel Gat 40
Ori Danino 25
Almog Sarusi 27
Alex Lobanov 32

Hashem yikom damam. 🙏

On this Yom Kippur, I wish all who observe an easy and meaningful fast.
This sacred day reminds us of the power of reflection, forgiveness, and renewal.

None of us is perfect, I know I have made mistakes, even when acting with the best of intentions. Yom Kippur teaches us to learn from the past, to do better for one another, and to move forward with humility and hope.

At a time when antisemitism is on the rise and our city faces great challenges, let us draw strength from our shared values and commitment to each other.

May this new year bring peace, health, and healing to the Jewish community and to all New Yorkers.

G’mar Chatima Tova.

New York, we’re almost through this heatwave but aren’t out of the woods yet. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe.

All over Israel, displays of solidarity with the hostages to mark the 600th day of their captivity.

Masses of Israelis are speaking out because we need the hostages home and for this horrible war to end ❤️‍🩹
