Don't be attached to successes or failures. Rather, be attached to learning, growing, and loving.

The government has failed us. I’m lucky, others won’t be.

It’s far past the time to take action. Not words, ACTION. Step the fuck up, and protect the people of this country.

If they won’t, we need to. Stay inside, be smart. No death is worth you being ignorant. We can do this.

At my Jerusalem barbershop. The TV is showing a report about the wave of antisemitic attacks in New York. My barber turns to me and, with a hint of concern, asks a question I never thought I’d hear:

“Do you wear your kippah when you’re in New York?”

This is where we’re at.

Closing Hanukah thought from Rav Amital (1924-2010), interpreting words of his martyred teacher Hayim Yehudah Levi.
"A mitzvah is greater than a miracle.' Because all a miracle can do is solve a momentary problem. But only real commitment can bring about fundamental change."

Nowhere safe: this Dutch family moved from Rotterdam to Nahal Oz, because of the rise of anti-Semitism in The Netherlands. Yesterday, their house was destroyed by a Palestinian terror rocket. #SameHate #IsraelUnderFire

Thread on "Socialism" buzz, cont'd
2. On the right, people forget how much of today's commomplaces that nobody would do away with (e.g. social security, workplace safety rules, minimum wage) is due to Socialist ideas and activism.

Thread on today's "Socialism" buzz.
1. Much of the problem is that nobody has historical memories. On the left, people forget how unsuccessful much of it was in practice and how Western naivete about it facilitated unimaginable evil in Gulag and elsewhere.

"The world's most 'primitive' people have few possessions, but they are not poor. Poverty is not a certain small amount of goods, nor is it just a relation between means and ends; above all it is a relation between people. Poverty is a social status..."
