Don’t let anyone shame you out of practicing Judaism. Kapparot is a centuries-old pre–Yom Kippur tradition: the chicken is circled overhead, collecting my sins, as a symbolic stand-in while I reflect, repent, and prepare for a clean slate.
The first victim of 9/11 was Danny Lewin. Born in Denver, raised in Jerusalem. Captain in Sayeret Matkal. Mathematician. Co-founder of Akamai - the company that still carries a huge share of the internet.
On the morning of September 11, 2001 he boarded American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles and sat in seat 9B.
Directly in front of him: Mohamed Atta and Abdulaziz al-Omari.
Directly behind him: Satam al-Suqami.
When the hijackers rose and moved toward the cockpit, Lewin - 31 years old, elite IDF officer - stood up to stop them.
Al-Suqami slit his throat from behind.
Flight attendants Betty Ong and Amy Sweeney radioed that a passenger in 9B had been stabbed and appeared dead. The 9/11 Commission later concluded he was almost certainly the first person murdered that day.
Twenty-five minutes later Flight 11 hit the North Tower.
He left a wife and two young sons.
Israel is the only country outside the United States with a 9/11 memorial that lists every victim by name, built from Ground Zero steel. Danny Lewin’s name is on it.
May his memory be a blessing.

Right is right. Wrong is wrong. In life, you must choose a side. You are either with the Tucker Carlson wing of the country or you are with the pro Israel wing of the country. You can’t be both. @JDVance

I was Governor of New York on September 11, 2001. The planes did not simply crash into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. They were hijacked and deliberately flown into those buildings by Islamist terrorists.
Never in my life did I think I would be running against a guy that thinks America deserved 9/11.
Abdul is too dangerous for Michigan. We can’t let him anywhere near the United States Senate.
Here's a sentence you would never have thought you'd read ten years ago: A Hamas supporter may well be the Democrats' nominee to represent Michigan in the Senate.
The Democratic Party is headed down a truly dark road - and all Americans need to wake up to this threat.
A bronze statue of Yoni Netanyahu now stands at Entebbe Airport's old terminal, unveiled on the exact 50th anniversary of Operation Entebbe. He was killed leading the 1976 hostage rescue. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces, presided over the event.
