Today we commemorate the 88th anniversary of the Kristallnacht pogrom.
The night of November 9-10, 1938, was a night of terror for Jews living in Nazi Germany, Austria, and parts of then-Czechoslovakia that Germany occupied. It was a night of coordinated violence and persecution against Jewish civilians.
Today, antisemitic violence has returned to our streets. But we will not allow it to grow to something worse.
#WeRemember
More than 1,000 synagogues and Jewish institutions worldwide are expected to leave their lights on overnight to mark the 88th anniversary of the November Pogrom of 1938, known as Kristallnacht.
As part of the #SpreadTheLight initiative, Jewish communities across the globe are illuminating their synagogues in remembrance of the Nazi attacks of 9โ10 November 1938, when hundreds of synagogues were destroyed, Jewish businesses and homes were attacked, and thousands of Jews were arrested and deported to concentration camps.
88 years later, these lights stand as a powerful symbol of remembrance, resilience and the continuity of Jewish life.
88 years ago today, on what would become known as Kristallnacht, the Nazis set fire to over 1,400 synagogues, looted and destroyed thousands of Jewish owned businesses and homes. That night, they attacked and murdered Jewish people across Germany. Almost 26,000 Jewish men were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
The world watched in silence as Jewish lives were shattered and their humanity was denied. No army came to protect them.
Today, the Jewish people arenโt defenseless anymore. The IDF is there to protect Israel and its people, determined to eliminate any threat.
On 9 November 1938, Nazi violence swept across Germany and Austria.
Synagogues were burned, Jewish homes and businesses destroyed, Jews murdered and around 30,000 Jewish men sent to concentration camps.
Kristallnacht marked a turning point in the persecution of European Jews.
88 years ago tonight, Nazi mobs tore through Jewish communities across Germany and Austria, burning synagogues and smashing the windows of Jewish homes and shops. By morning, 91 Jews had been murdered and about 30,000 Jewish men were headed for concentration camps.
Kristallnacht didnโt come out of nowhere. It followed years of hate that too many people shrugged off. Antisemitism is making a comeback today, and I wonโt shrug it off.
Iโll keep calling it out wherever it shows up, so my kids grow up in a world where Kristallnacht stays in the history books.

The Department of Transportation says it has begun replacing floppy disks with digital displays, giving air traffic controllers faster access to critical safety data as part of its ATC overhaul.
@SilversteinAdam We moved 4 years ago. We miss people (and teams), but we don't miss living there. Hopefully, in time, others realize that it's just not the same place we grew up anymore.

Projected Margin: ๐ฆD+4.6
Wisconsin is one of the swingiest states in the Midwest having been decided by less than a percentage point in the last three presidential elections.
The GOP hopes to flip the governorโs mansion, and while Representative Tom Tiffany remains the underdog, the chaotic Democratic primary that occurred over the summer gives him reason for hope.

Reminder that flying in a chartered jet is 9x more deadly than flying in a commercial aircraft and flying in a privately owned jet can be as 50x more deadly than a commercial aircraft.
General aviation pistons (ie Cessna) are 200x more deadly that commercial aircraft and are as risky as motorcycles.
There are 2-3 fatal accidents involving an airplane every single week.
Iโm a pilot and know that I am taking a substantial risk every time I go up. Almost every pilot I know with more than a few hundred hours has a story of a close call that almost ended it all. Itโs a risk we all are aware of and accept.
The most common cause for fatal accidents involves weather.
Unfortunately, there is nothing unusual about the accident.
It involved icing + thunderstorms, a deadly combo.
