I hope other Park Slope @FoodCoop members will join me in voting against the proposal to boycott Israeli goods. The boycott will not advance peace. It will only further inflame tension here.

[Alyssa Katz @alykatzz]

Park Slope Food Coop update: 6,000 members (out of ~17,000) have signed up for tonight’s Israeli products ban proposal vote meeting, which went all-virtual for safety reasons.

(2/2) language need to be balanced against other considerations to be fair or complete? Is that the standard we'd apply to other forms of biased or stereotyped language? To me, xenophobic rhetoric should have no place at the coop, full stop.

[Michael Snow @Michael_Sn0w]

(1/2) Hi Brandon, you state you wouldn't use the phrase “Jewish supremacy” and acknowledge it is an antisemitic trope, which I appreciate. You then qualify that by suggesting we need to “walk and chew gum." That's where you lose me. Why does a clear condemnation of antisemitic

[Brandon West (@brandonwestnyc.bsky.social) @brandonwestnyc]

That said, we need to be able to walk and chewgum. The idea that they are people in political power who believe that Israelis or the jewish diaspora are superior to Arabs/muslims is quite clear. i.e. Shumer's 2018 AIPAC speech or anything Huckebee says https://t.co/3IRdpoK2q3

[Michael Snow @Michael_Sn0w]

I appreciate the Park Slope Food Coop @foodcoop sending out a message that anti-Semitism is unwelcome after hurtful and hateful comments were made the last general meeting.

Praying for the speedy recovery of the security guard at Temple Israel in Michigan. So thankful none of the congregants were hurt, and so grateful to the first responders for their swift response. It could have been so much worse.

Rabbi Josh Bennett (one of the rabbis there) and I were cabin counselors together at a Jewish summer camp outside of Indianapolis back in the summer of 1987, and his older brother Jim has been one of my family’s rabbis for decades (he just blessed my parents for their 60th wedding anniversary). Antisemitic attacks, from Brooklyn to West Bloomfield, are hitting far too close to home.

Jews deserve to pray, and study, and send their kids to preschool without fear of violence, just like everybody else does. We will not cower in fear. And we will stand up to hate together.

@daniela__127 A similar situation occurred with my father when he saw a drawing of hands pouring water on his grandfather’s tombstone. His Ruv said that this was sufficient to rely on to determine that we are leviim.

Tom DiNapoli has been NY Comptroller forever. No one knows who he is, but they will soon learn how he has failed.

[David G. Greenfield @NYCGreenfield]

Credit where due: @NYCMayor rushed to 770 with the Police Commissioner and explicitly labeled the attack antisemitic.

Attacking Zohran for what happened at 770, 3 weeks into his tenure in office, is silly.

The mayoral election is over. Zohran Mamdani is now Mayor-elect. The Jewish community wishes him the best as he assembles his administration to lead our city. While some hoped for a different outcome, it’s time to come together. I’m confident he will be a strong ally. Gut Shabbos

No more articles about this mayoral race and the Jewish community. It's enough.

BDE. Rabbi Kass was a true public servant who radiated menschlikeit.

[Jessica S. Tisch @NYPDPC]

I am deeply saddened to share the passing of Rabbi Alvin Kass, our Chief Chaplain, and one of the longest-serving members of the New York City Police Department.

Rabbi Kass joined the NYPD in 1966, at the age of 30, becoming the youngest chaplain in the Department’s history. Nearly six decades later, he remained its spiritual heart — a source of strength, guidance, and faith for generations of police officers and their families.

A U.S. Air Force veteran and Columbia graduate, Rabbi Kass devoted his life to service, to this city, and to the women and men of the NYPD. He comforted the grieving, counseled the troubled, and reminded all of us of the deeper purpose in what we do.

He was among the first to respond after 9/11, consoling the families of the 23 officers we lost that day. And for more than half a century, he stood beside our members through moments of tragedy and triumph alike.

At every Police Academy graduation, Rabbi Kass offered his familiar blessing — a prayer that New York be “a place where people of every race, religion, color, and creed can pursue their individual destinies untrammeled, unafraid, and in obedience to Thy will.”

Today, that prayer belongs to all of us. And as we carry his words forward, we know he will still be watching over the city and the Department he loved.

His loss is immeasurable. His example is everlasting.

May his memory be a blessing.
