Our @AJCLatino Political Influencers delegation is in Israel this week. The group started in Tel Aviv, where they had meetings with Jewish and Arab Israelis to learn more about both communities. Then they went to Kibbutz Be’eri and the Nova Music Festival Memorial site at Re’im to bear witness to the October 7 massacres.

The delegation also met with Argentinian-Israeli Luis Har, who was taken hostage by Hamas and rescued a few months later from Rafah. They were so moved by their conversation with Luis that they invited him to dinner later that evening.

What the Boss said...👇

[Ted Deutch, CEO of American Jewish Committee @AJCCEO]

When I left Congress to join AJC, I was drawn by the opportunity to spend every moment of every day working to help the Jewish people and Israel. Since October 7th, that work has given me, and my colleagues at AJC, the honor of spending an enormous amount of time with so many hostage families, joining them at meetings and pouring our heart and soul into helping them in every way we can. Today’s news is an especially shattering blow because we feel we have lost part of our family, and we mourn with their anguished survivors whose bravery has inspired us every day.

@TC_EcoTeam @fcpsGet2Green What did you all plant?

[Chris Townsend @ctownsend80]

👏👏👏 Louder again for the people in the back. No agenda, no meeting.

[Jacob Espinoza @MrJacobEspi]

Leadership tip:

If you aren't prepared, cancel the meeting.

And then, next time, make sure you block out time to prepare.

So what are the appropriate verbs and nouns for this activity now? Are we xing? Are re xing things we like? Do we doomscroll looking at nasty x's?

"Work harder. Pay attention when you hear about rights issues. Support rights organizations. Take up cases. Seek redress. Be concerned about the victims. All these things need to be done."--Felice Gaer, my AJC hero.

@AlinDragu @MrJacobEspi Agree with the above and add "and a salary increase from a new job makes it easy for them to go"

Fun video from the big boss @AJCCEO and his preferences. Everything bagels are the best, though I prefer apricot hamentaschen.

To get you in the mood for Shabbat dinner, watch and hear @AJCCEO Ted Deutch rattle off some of his favorite Jewish foods.

Do you agree with his choices? Let us know: 👇

@seffikogen Now, do I fault those people for filing for PPP? I definitely do not. Many large companies too needed payroll protection, and this helped.

But this era of news coverage is where the zeitgeist changed, and idea of forgiveness for loans came about, which is what you asked.

@seffikogen I believe this was the memo: https://t.co/vMTAmxjaYl
