B&H Photo, one of the world’s largest photo, video and electronics retailers and one of the most successful Jewish-owned businesses in America, announced that it will award a company-wide bonus to employees in recognition of their hard work and dedication.

In a memo sent to staff, CEO Menashe Horowitz thanked employees for helping the company navigate a challenging retail environment and praised their commitment throughout the year.

The company said all employees will receive an additional week of wages as a bonus, amounting to millions of dollars distributed across its workforce. B&H also announced that its annual raise cycle is approaching, with salary increases expected to be approved in the coming weeks.

Founded in New York in 1973, B&H has grown into a global retail powerhouse serving customers worldwide while remaining firmly rooted in its Jewish values. The company employs thousands of workers and is widely known for closing on Shabbos and Jewish holidays despite its massive scale.

The announcement was welcomed by employees as another example of the company’s commitment to sharing its success with the people who helped build it.

Design Engineering Tip

Consider letting textareas grow with the content instead of introducing nested scrolling. It often creates a smoother writing experience and keeps forms easier to scan.

CSS:
textarea {

If you're building your ideas for the first time, you need a way to save progress. Enter, Git and Github.

But it can feel strange to use them. Wrote up what I've learned so far.

Four days before Israel declared independence, Golda Meir made a desperate secret trip to Amman. Disguised as an Arab woman, she met with King Abdullah of Transjordan — an Arab leader who acknowledged Jewish rights to the Land & who many hoped may choose peace.

Abdullah had long kept private contacts with Zionist leaders. He dreamed of a Greater Syria under Hashemite rule and saw cooperation with the Jews as strategically useful.

In their November 1947 meeting, he had hinted at possible accommodation.

But by May 1948, the Arab world was locked in rejection. Abdullah told Golda he was now “one of several” — no longer free to act alone. Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon were all committed to destroying the Jewish state the moment it was born.

He still wanted peace with his Jewish neighbors. But he felt trapped.

Before they parted, the King looked at Golda and said these remarkable words:

“I believe with all my heart that divine providence has brought you back here, restoring you to the Semitic East which needs your knowledge and initiative. Conditions are now difficult, but be patient.”

It was a poignant, almost prophetic farewell.

King Abdullah paid for his pragmatism with his life. On July 20, 1951, while visiting Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, he was assassinated by a local Arab gunman acting on orders from the ex-Mufti of Jerusalem and Nazi war criminal, Amin al-Husseini. Peace with Jews was considered treason.

This became a tragic pattern: moderate Arab leaders who dared acknowledge Jewish rights or seek accommodation were sidelined, exiled, or killed.

From 1948 onward, maximalist rejectionism has been rewarded while moderation has been punished.

Yet the Jewish state survived — and thrived anyway.
