The Judaism and Western Civilization Program at @Hillsdale is a wonderful addition to campus. My friend @weingradmichael has done great work preparing the way for this and I’m thrilled about this program and our partnership with @tikvahfund.
Thrilled that my friend and now colleague Rabbi Dr. Meir Y. Soloveichik will serve as distinguished visiting scholar in the Judaism and Western Civilization Program at @Hillsdale. I’m thrilled about this program and our partnership with @tikvahfund.
Do you want to be a part of America's Hebraic Awakening?

Critics are calling it “thorough,” “honest,” and “at times, surprising.”
The @mosaicmag November essay—my take on how Jews should think about Islam in America, with clear eyes and without compromising our principles. https://t.co/WdAAix7bgd
When I warned in a recent column that antisemitism would lead Americans to blame Israel for grocery prices, just like I saw growing up in Egypt, I thought it would take years. Not weeks.
The Strawberry Plot https://t.co/DQanfhokXV
Z3 Fellow @husseinaboubak grew up in Egypt watching Jews get blamed for the price of groceries. He warned it was coming to America and figured it would take years. It took weeks. Read "The Strawberry Plot" in @mosaicmag . @z3_project
For @mosaicmag, I note that British activist @thelizcarr, Israeli actress Noa Koler, and others have taken to laughing at euthanasia.
It's an underappreciated way of challenging its hold on the Western imagination.

Absolutely loved watching @HusseinAboubak 's discussion with Jonathan Silver—terrific from start to finish. Also, he is so right on about Arab narcissism. From @tikvahfund Also, I too find it surreal that the Islamists are recreating here the very conditions from which we escaped!

Mark Tooley @markdtooley with an important response to @tikvahfund@mosaicmag 's July essay on America's Hebraic Awakening. I'm grateful for Mark's gracious interaction with my essay and his contribution—on the impact of the Second Great Awakening and the displacing of the Calvinists by the Methodists is VERY important.

On the @tikvahfund podcast, we went deep.

I loved speaking with @SarahnBaird and the @tikvahfund’s Solomon Fellows on Sunday about IN THE WAR ROOM.
A very impressive group of high-school students.
Thanks to @JonathanLSilve @mosaicmag@tikvahfund for this great podcast https://t.co/ZN56yIeOzs on my book IN THE WAR ROOM: buy at https://t.co/Tdo3714tZ5 OR https://t.co/rtPBRH8dpo w/ @ElliotKaufman6 . This has more in depth coverage on decision making factors than some others
The inaugural Newport Fellowship Shabbaton was a wonderful success, bringing together Jewish and Christian fellows, special guests, and staff for a weekend of fruitful dialogue, meaningful encounters, and genuine friendship in historic Newport, Rhode Island. Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, Eric Cohen, and Jonathan Silver led conversations exploring how Jews and Christians can forge alliances to steward a new American Hebraic Awakening rooted in our shared biblical inheritance. Applications for the 2027 Newport Fellowship are open—please help us spread the word and encourage promising Jewish and Christian leaders to apply!

“The question is not how to change the character of Haredim, but how to stop rewarding choices that perpetuate poverty and dependence. Any solution to the haredi challenge must therefore include a drastic cut in public welfare spending.” https://t.co/PSgS9Ujtqm
“Antisemitism is a sign of a society falling apart.” @JonathanLSilver of @tikvahfund interviews @FDD European envoy @srodan on why France is burning and why French protestors are waiving Palestinian flags. https://t.co/txvyt631nN
A pleasure to sit down with Jonathan Silver on the Tikvah Podcast to try to make sense of the protests across France- and what lies behind them. We also discussed antisemitism, the polarization of French society, and a generation coming of age in a country increasingly at odds with itself.

Reminder: “…the first task in war is to understand the kind of war one is in. Israel’s experience shows us the war we are already fighting. Any Western democracy that fails to recognize this reality risks defeat in the next war, possibly before the first rounds are fired. The battle for will, legitimacy, and truth is well underway.”
More in my @mosaicmag article with @SpencerGuard as the war of barbarism on civilization rages without ceasefires.
To help to understand the meaning of what happened three years ago today, I wrote this piece for @mosaicmag which I think has even more validity today:
