Shanah Tovah to Jewish communities across Ukraine and around the world as they mark #RoshHashanah.
This year's celebration, like previous years, is marked by war and hardship for Jews in Ukraine and other countries where aggression and terror threaten normal life.
However, the New Year's message is one of hope for a new awakening, for the triumph of good over evil, and for life to overcome all hardships and injustices. This is what today's prayers are about: restoring fair peace, justice, and normal life to all those who have been denied them.
I wish for every Jewish community gathering around festive tables and tasting apples and honey, a sweet year ahead, as well as strength, hope, and faith in tomorrow in the face of today's challenges.
Shana tova u-metuka!
It's morally backward to be concerned about Hezbollah's pagers exploding while being silent on Hezbollah launching missiles aimed at murdering Israeli civilians.
It’s crazy to me how many “peace activists” think that killing innocent Israelis is “justified resistance” while killing terrorists is an “act of terrorism.”
This world is upside down.
Tonight, I had the honor to join members of the Austin Jewish community in solidarity with Israel.
All of Texas mourns with Israel.
We join together in condemning these heinous acts of war.
Texas will always stand with Israel and our Jewish neighbors here at home.
@BobbysWorld414 As a Texas fan, I have nothing but respect for Shaka as a person. However, as a coach he led years of iso and hero ball… winding down the shot clock then chucking up a horrible 3.
We need to:
Ban assault weapons — and if we can’t, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21.
Ban high-capacity magazines.
Strengthen background checks.
Enact safe storage laws and red flag laws.
Repeal gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability.
