For 2 years, we wore a daily reminder of hostages who had yet to return to Israel. No better place to “retire” our dog tags than on a sculpture of 3 women rejoicing in dance. “There is a time to sob and a time to dance, and we have to do both right now.” Rachel Goldberg Polin

Honored to be invited again this year and to join fellow community leaders at City Hall to hear Mayor @MayorOfLA Karen Bass’ annual State of the City address.
Mixed emotions. Pure joy at the homecoming of Sagui Dekel-Chen, Iair Horn, and Alexander Sasha Troufanov. At the same time, profound sadness that 73 hostages remain after 500 days of captivity. #BringThemHomeNow
After the attack on the home of UC Regent Jay Sures, there may be a new day at @UCLA with the new @UCLAchancellor’s powerful words and UCLA's Office of Student Conduct suspending SJP and GSJP on an interim basis due to the violent acts of its members.

This week we celebrate 2 LA leaders … both immigrants. @adrin_nazarian, an Iranian immigrant, sworn into the LA City Council, and Martin Estrada, a Guatemalan immigrant, ending his tenure leading the @USAO_LosAngeles. To quote “Hamilton” … “immigrants. [they] get the job done.”
Our partners at @JFedLA have created a resource guide for those affected by the wild fires across Los Angeles. Find community spaces and support, government resources, volunteer opportunities, mental health resources and more. https://t.co/LzJtqQijk8
Thank you for all the Members of Congress & their staff who took the time yesterday to meet with my @ADL colleague @MarcLevine and I on a very busy day in DC. We look forward to working together in combating antisemitism, extremism & hate of all kinds. @ADLCalifornia
Always important to be in the room … or at least right next to it. Outside the House Floor greeting members of the House as the 119th Congress begins its important work.
As Joe Biden would say, “this is a big f#*king deal.” The UC system has effectively entered into a federal consent decree to ensure it better protects Jewish and Israeli students throughout the UC system.
Today @edcivilrights announced a resolution of complaints alleging shared ancestry discrimination by five campuses in the @UofCalifornia system.

@ADL is proud to be an official reporting partner for the latest LA County Hate Crime report. Thank you to our county leaders for your steadfast support in combatting the root causes of hate and ensuring justice for victims of hate crimes and hate incidents.
The latest report from @CountyofLA paints a dark picture of the way hate crimes have become normalized in Los Angeles County. Hate crimes targeting Jews skyrocketed by 91% from the previous year.

Painful to see a 91% increase in hate crimes targeting the Jewish community in 2023. Working together with government, law enforcement and communal partners to improve reporting is critical to ensuring we can resource to the growing threat of hatred and antisemitism.
We are thankful to have strong partners in the fight against hate with @CountyofLA. As ADL LA Regional Director @JeffreyAbrams said in his remarks, the best way to combat hate is to stand together as one, united community. Read the report here: https://t.co/qCC0zkYvsF
Partnership is one of the keys to fighting the scourge of hatred and antisemitism. Happy to support my friend @rickhirschhaut and @AJCGlobal, along with Supervisor @LindseyPHorvath Horvath, @NathanHochmanDA and Special Advisor David Hochman.
