SHOCKING: Antisemitic flyers were plastered at the Charlotte JCC and the Charlotte Jewish Day School.
Imagine being a young child and reading that “local Naz*s” want to “swing you by the neck.” Imagine dropping your child off at school and seeing flyers threatening to murder them.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Zionism, politics, or Palestinians. These are death threats from antisemitic cowards targeting Jewish children at their own school.
Utterly vile.
"I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

Norwegian 🇳🇴 state TV journalist asks Israeli 🇮🇱 MK @BismuthBoaz about “Israel's genocide of Palestinians”.
The response: “When UNRWA 🇺🇳 was founded, there were 100-200K Palestinians. Today there are millions. Under what kind of genocide you see such a rapid population growth?”
Holy sh*t.
@piersmorgan just made a tremendous point on Mahmoud Khalil and Columbia.
Take a listen. It’ll take you 90 seconds.
Thank you Piers.

Jewish Billionaire Michael Bloomberg, worth $102B per Forbes, is donating 100M shekels (~$27.8M) to rebuild northern Israel after the war. Local leaders say this is just the beginning. 🌍
Now I really gotta wrap Tefflin with @MikeBloomberg
Ivanka and I are saddened by the loss of Rabbi Kogan, who was senselessly murdered to stop the historic bridges he was building between Jews and Muslims in the UAE. The success of his work, in partnership with the bold and positive vision of the Emirati government, has been a shining light in the world and a strong counter to the history of division.
Before World War 2, Jews and Muslims lived together throughout the Middle East in harmony for many centuries, celebrating their shared values, and the UAE is leading us back to that time.
In the UAE, people of all faiths and backgrounds thrive together in an environment of mutual understanding and respect. Ivanka and I will be donating $1 million to the Chabad of UAE and will redouble our efforts to work with the Jewish community and the country’s leadership to build a resilient, vibrant Jewish community in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We welcome others to join us in this effort.
The constant scapegoating of Israel and the Jewish people benefits no one, other than inept leaders who use hatred to deflect from their own shortcomings. It’s time for the world to channel its collective energy to uplift our shared goals and ambitions.
To all who wish to aggravate these historic divides, know that your efforts only strengthen the resolve of the Jewish community to contribute to societies that respect and welcome us. History has shown that those who embrace the Jewish people benefit, and those who persecute the Jewish people ultimately face spectacular defeat.
Let us come together from all faiths to pick up where Rabbi Kogan left off and bring his work, and the work of those building the UAE into a thriving destination of tolerance, bridge building and mutual benefit, to new heights.
Rabbi Zvi Kogan was kidnapped and killed for no other reason than being Jewish. Think about that, and ask yourself who we are as a society?
Do not stay silent in the face of this horrific and violent anti-semitism. Silence is being complicit in the face of evil. We must rise up with one voice and say no more — and we must demonstrate it with our actions. Anyone involved in this act must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
May Rabbi Kogan’s memory be a blessing.

With great pain we share that Rabbi Zvi Kogan, Chabad-Lubavitch emissary to Abu Dhabi, UAE, was murdered by terrorists after being abducted on Thursday.
His body was recovered early Sunday morning, and his family has been notified.
Please do a mitzvah in the merit and memory of Rabbi Zvi ben Alexander Hakohen, hy”d
Mazel tov @BillAckman on your BAR Mitzvah today!
Just wrapped tefillin with Bill Ackman for the first time in his life, one of the world's most powerful and influential hedge fund managers and a proud Jew.
Ackman, who is the CEO of Pershing Square, has become a key voice in the fight against antisemitism and a strong defender of Israel. His late father, Larry Ackman, who passed away in 2022, often encouraged him to do more, repeatedly saying, "You're not doing enough about antisemitism." One of Larry's final letters urged Bill to take the threat of antisemitism seriously, which has become increasingly prevalent since October 7th.
Reflecting on that day, Bill remarked, "Good comes from bad. October 7th has united the global Jewish community like never before."
Today, we wrapped tefillin as Proud Jews in memory of the 1,200 innocent souls who were taken just because they were Jewish.
It's hard to believe one year has passed since 10/7.
During that time we have distributed tefillin in 25+ countries.
2,041 incredible men around the world are now wrapping tefillin daily.
Slava took the mezuzah down from his barber shop after October 7th, fearing he would be a target. What happened? He was viciously attacked anyway, by an antisemitic man who stabbed him in the hand repeatedly with his own scissors, saying he was going to kill him.
@drirasavetsky has helped Slava through his physical recovery, but today we focused on his spiritual recovery, with a very special ceremony, hanging an @apeloigcollection mezuzah we gave him, back up on his doorpost.
Slava is still not able to work because of his injury. The perpetrator is in jail and the crime is being prosecuted as a hate crime. Slava was adamant the mezuzah be back in place even before he could return to work. Today he wrapped tefilin, heard the shofar, and hung the mezuzah. Slava is an inspiration to all of us with his bravery for committing to never again hide who he is. Am Yisroel Chai!
