That’s why Arabic is the official language of 24 countries and Hebrew of just one.

Common sense restored ✔️

@jycefisher @jpodhoretz Respectfully, please learn more about Jewish hair covering as this is a biased misrepresentation.

I am heartbroken over the passing of a civil rights hero: Clarence B. Jones, who served as counsel and close confidant to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a co-organizer of the March on Washington, and a co-writer of the immortal “I Have a Dream” speech.

Clarence Jones is one of the greatest heroes I will ever meet. To have known a moral giant on whose shoulders so many of us stand is a gift from God that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Dr. Jones not only practiced law. He transformed it. And we are all better for it.

May his memory be a blessing.

My wife Toby and I are in @Israel becoming citizens. At the Interior Ministry, the official reviewing our papers - a Jew who came from Ethiopia in 1991 - asked me for proof that I was Jewish.

I showed him letters from our rabbi. As I did so, tears began to flow.

I told him: “I remember the 1970s and ’80s, when we marched and protested so Ethiopian Jews could come home to Israel. Back then, many questioned whether Ethiopian Jews were Jewish at all. We insisted our Black brothers and sisters were as Jewish as any of us.”

And now, 35 years later, here was a holy Ethiopian Jew confirming my Judaism.

We had come full circle.

Holding his hand, I sang: “Zeh hayom asah Hashem, nagilah ve’nismechah bo” - This is the day God has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Jews from East and West have returned home together.

Am Yisrael chai v’yichyeh.

@jtwittorfield @ker_uap @RitchieTorres A stoic, dignified arrest process lacking in say, a soundtrack or hooliganism, might’ve achieved that, but any opportunity was squandered with this foolishness.

I don’t normally associate arrests with comedic relief. Do you?

Louise McCrae is turning 100. Her father paid a poll tax to vote, and she has never missed an election.

She knows better than anyone that the right to vote is sacred. We won't allow the dismantling of Section 2 to intimidate us from participating in the future of our democracy.

@ker_uap @RitchieTorres Why do anything to fuel the perception of Israel as ignoble? Why do anything to lend a whiff of credibility to rumors that prisoners are humiliated or mistreated? Why be so foolish as to document antics for millions to see?
