@puronpohjalta @haaretzcom Evidence that contradicts this = the community is referred to throughout the biblical text as “B’nei Yisrael” (children of Israel). It is an ancient tribal designation long before it becomes the name of the unified kingdom, one of the two kingdoms, or of the modern nation state.

@haaretzcom Well… I mean, there was that time that Jacob wrestled with an angel until morning, and then received the blessing of a new name

@NiohBerg This is holocaust erasure, pride and simple. How shameful. We cannot allow ourselves to believe or normalize this kind of rewriting of history.

@libertymama86 @aziz0nomics Jews have been called Yisrael/ B’nei Yisrael since biblical times. Certainly not a term created in the 20th century.

Happy Wednesday, y’all.

Humaning 101.

Remember to breathe.

I’m continually surprised at how often I am holding my breath unconsciously especially during moments of stress, which these days is all the time.

Remember to breathe, y’all. This is Humaning 101.

Just a reminder, ladies, your vote is private. He’ll never know. Your daughters deserve better than this. ♥️

Holocaust survivor Irene Kurtz threw the first pitch at the Toronto Blue Jays game.

But it's the 97-year-old's sweet moment with the Jays' Jewish first baseman Spencer Horwitz that captured my heart. He wants so many pics with her!

And no. Irene and I are not related.

But all 15.7 million of us are family.

I'm gonna take a lot of shit for this, especially from those who view me as a (relatively) "good Israeli".

There is nothing factually incorrect in Ravid's statement.

And there is a lot unsaid that should be said.

But his voice is an important reminder of what Oct. 7 was.

Guys. Memes are fun. Misinformation isn't.

Ppl keep sharing this but the image has absolutely zero connection to the Olympics. In fact, this image appeared in the Hebrew edition of Israel HaYom on 11/19/23 in a short article written by Oren Aharoni.

@kingdomfantasy6 @LavenderNRed @tashakaminsky So many committees!

@DoodlesJW @sbearbergman @skeevie_nicks Yes to this!

@sbearbergman Drop of a hat schedule changes due to last minute childcare/ activity cancellations.

@6abc So devastating. Too many lives are being cut short, so much potential snuffed out. We need to find a way to keep kids like Anthony safe, and ways to keep guns out of the hands of our teenagers.

[Alanna Sklover @RabbiAlanna]

@AtlanticCity911 Wow, those are some great finds out there!

It’s like the grown-up version of the schoolyard question “how many kids can you fit on a park bench?”

@mrstevenkane @MaNishtana Unfortunately, I have to agree with you @mrstevenkane. Especially at the end when he said, “I hope they don’t take anything away from me — whoever they are…” he really crossed the line from comic social commentary/ critique into classical antisemitism.
