A timeless lesson in leadership!

Greatness. Eisenhower's note, written today, in which he takes full responsibility - "mine alone" - in the event that D-Day fails.

Yael Maori lost her husband Dan in Lebanon — on their son’s birthday. She asked me a question I couldn’t shake.

They boo because they want #Israel silent.

Noam Bettan is #3 tonight.

Boo louder. We can’t hear you over the music.

Sing for Israel. Sing for us. 🇮🇱🎤

George Orwell once said, “Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.” The New York Times’ latest blood libel, featuring fantastical tales of Israeli guards training dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners, is even worse than it appears. Beyond the specific story, it points to a deep rot within Western institutions of expertise and their related sources of knowledge.

Also, Shas or Abbas: Arabs or the ultra-Orthodox?

There are so many stories about former @ADL CEO Abe Foxman who passed away yesterday.

Most of the people posting knew him far better than I did.

But I did have two interactions that I keep replaying in my mind.

[Dan Elbaum @dan_elbaum]

Abe always said “words matter” and they do. So does kindness and 5 seconds out of your day can stay with a person for a lifetime.

I never thanked Abe for those moments, but I will always be grateful for them.
