As usual, the great Ruth Wisse is 100% right

This is incredible

[Hussein Aboubakr Mansour @HusseinAboubak]

"No nation can claim anti-Semitism as its particular property. It is not the residue of some specific form of ignorance. It can appeal to any society that has lost the meaning by which it had once lived and gone in search of another, and the conditions under which it flowers are not those of material poverty but of spiritual poverty. Neither education, nor freedom, nor technology can insulate against it. Indeed, the very conditions that have left America vulnerable are the products of its freedoms and its economic and technological advancement: the severing of attachments, the attenuating of traditional moral restraints, and the atomization of the individual. These conditions are perhaps not so different from those experienced by countries like Egypt during their rapid and chaotic entry into modernity in 20th century. But no one fortifies himself against a fate he is certain lies beneath him."

Love this picture. Synagogues in the US stayed open 24 hours to pray for the troops on D Day.

Delighted to have started this new project with @mosaicmag at @tikvahfund.

I'm honored to have Sergio DellaPergola, @NeilRogachevsky, and Evelyn Gordon as responents to my article on Jewish migration to and from Israel in 2024-2025. Mosaic magazine has now published my responses to them. https://t.co/SBB4rtzrZr

@KyleWOrton It is, like the entire genre, a policy proposal for the problem we wish we had rather the one we do have. Standard peace processor fare. https://t.co/klG9nvGYnl

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

From @WSJopinion: Ruth Wisse, the Iron Lady of the American Jewish right. At Harvard, she fought for ROTC and against racial preferences. She warns now of “the organization of politics against the Jews,” writes @ElliotKaufman6.

Ahead of Shavuot I revisited my conversion and what it’s been like to be a Jew for three years.

Thanks @tikvahfund and Jonathan Silver for having me on!

“Memory is indeed the guardian of liberty.”

Rabbi Meir Soloveichik reflected tonight on America’s 250th anniversary and the importance of preserving the nation’s history and ideals for future generations.

Annual Jerusalem Day post.

My translation of Menachem Begin’s great speech, “We Were All Born in Jerusalem” (1972).

Begin’s liberal national thinking deserves continued consideration and recovery.

[Irit Mizrahi Tratt @Irit_Tratt]

As America prepares to commemorate 250 years of independence, it was a pleasure to join @tikvahfund and Rabbi Meir Soloveichik in Washington, DC, to explore the Jewish meaning of America, examine our nation's rich history, and learn more about the heroic statesmen behind the American Revolution. The gathering included an evening of enlightening conversation with @cjscalia @AEI, son of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

[Adele Scalia @AdeleScalia]

A great time with @cjscalia and the @tikvahfund tonight. As always.

The article discusses two parallel discourses: one that takes place on the Israeli center-left, and one that mostly takes place in the Jewish diaspora and (to a smaller extent) on the Israeli right. According to the former, the "Abandonment Narrative", government mismanagement, social-political crises and endless (and perhaps unnecessary) wars drive Israel's best and brightest into emigration.

According to the latter, the "Anti-semitism Narrative", an unprecedented wave of antisemitism in Western countries that broke out in the immediate aftermath of Oct 7 pushes many Jews in the diaspora to move to Israel. /2 https://t.co/nAuEqhPi1z

[Rafi DeMogge רפי דמוג @HeTows]

There has been a lot of talk in recent years about emigration from Israel, as well as Jewish immigration *to* Israel. But the discourse often bears only tenuous links to reality. I wrote an opinionated article to discuss the trends, and drew attention to a few issues that are rarely talked about. Link and discussion below. /1
