Schwartz’s Bakery, founded in 1954, is the oldest kosher bakery in Los Angeles. A longtime Jewish community staple, Jews began settling in the area of Pico Robertson of Los Angeles in the 1950s.

A serious and legitimate concern, Larry. I’m hearing the same on my radio show.

[Mosab Hassan Yousef @MosabHasanYOSEF]

Trump was repeatedly warned, by his own generals, intelligence services, and allies, about the real cost and complexity of this war.

He chose to ignore those warnings, rushed in, mismanaged the campaign, and eventually signed a humiliating deal.

Blaming others for the outcome of your own decisions is both unfair and beneath the office of the President.

[AP @Average_NY_Guy]

If Israel can blow up the deal by retaliating against Hezbollah, then that’s a pretty strong argument that this isn’t a very good deal.

Think about what you’re actually saying.

A country that isn’t even a party to the agreement supposedly has the power to derail the entire thing. If that’s true, then the deal isn’t built on the commitments of the people who signed it. It’s built on the behavior of people who didn’t.

If a partnership can fall apart because of a third party, you don’t have a partnership. You just have a fragile arrangement simply waiting for an excuse to collapse.

And if the deal can only survive so long as Israel refrains from responding to Hezbollah, then the weakness isn’t Israel. The weakness is the deal.

[Mosab Hassan Yousef @MosabHasanYOSEF]

Trump rushed into this confrontation aggressively without calculating the real cost. Now he’s rushing to get out of it without understanding the cost of backing down.

He’s making the same mistake twice:

first underestimating the enemy, and now underestimating how much credibility America is losing by appearing weak and desperate.

Trump, you're right. The strike on Beirut shouldn't have happened this morning. It should have happened a long time ago.

We, the citizens of Israel, are not your puppets. We didn't vote for you. You are not our prime minister.

You do not get to decide whether we respond when we are under attack. You do not get to manage the lives of millions of Israelis.

We appreciate everything you have done for the State of Israel, but it's time for you to understand that Israel is not another star on your flag.

You have become a deeply divisive figure. Israelis should not have to sit in bomb shelters waiting to hear what you say in order to know whether they can leave. The way you speak about our prime minister, and your rush to the media after every conversation between you, has earned you a great deal of contempt here.

You asked, "What the fuck is Bibi doing?" He's doing exactly what he is expected to do: protecting the people of Israel. He is not meant to serve your interests.

The surrender deal you are eager to sign with a murderous regime that has brutally oppressed its own people for 47 years and openly seeks our destruction is, in our eyes, one of the greatest disgraces imaginable. For Israel, it is a suicide pact.

Do not expect us to sit quietly while rockets and explosive drones are fired at us. Do not expect us to embrace the weakness you are displaying.

You are normalizing attacks on Israel. You are normalizing a reality in which millions of Israelis live between bomb shelters, rockets, and explosive drones.

By your actions, you are creating a dangerous equation: the IRGC and terrorist organizations are learning that they can attack Israel while Israel is expected not to respond.

There has never been a time when Israel sat and waited to see whether it would be attacked. That is not how you defeat terrorism.

That is not strength. It is surrender.

Israel has fought terrorism for generations and defeated it. We will not surrender to terror because you choose to do business with it.

We do not bribe terrorists, and we do not sell our values to accommodate them. If a terrorist organization were firing at New York and sending explosive drones into its streets, you would decide for yourself how to respond.

We have dedicated our lives to telling the world that terrorism must never pay. You chose to yield to it. Pride and ego prevent you from admitting mistakes and correcting them.

It is time for Israel to tell you no. Without apology.

Rafael Nadal, who won 22 Grand Slam titles during his two-decade-long career, has weathered a series of intense bodily ailments, which made his everyday life and, needless to say, his tennis playing, an exercise in near-constant anguish. But this pain, especially as the years went on, became almost a belief system. “It was a philosophy. To learn how to suffer through sport,” his mother, Ana María Parera, says, in the new Netflix docuseries “Rafa.” It’s a sentiment that his longtime physical therapist, Rafael Maymó, echoes, as well: “Rafa likes to suffer, to have the feeling that he’s pushed himself to the maximum.” Read more about Nadal’s career and the new docuseries: https://t.co/BldaDmtHzV

Tonight Jews around the world celebrate Shavuot, one of the three major pilgrimage festivals

Shavuot is yet another holiday that destroys the lie that Judaism can be separated from the Land of Israel

Because Shavuot is not just the story of receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai

It is a harvest festival, celebrating the gathering of the new wheat crop

The Hebrew calendar is synchronized to the soil, the climate, the seasons — it is synchronized to the Land of Israel

For thousands of years — through exile, pogroms, expulsions, inquisitions, ghettos, and gas chambers — Jews refused to sever that connection

No matter what anyone tries to claim

So we stay up all night studying, eating dairy (a bold choice for a very lactose intolerant people), and then we read the Ten Commandments out loud together as a community in the morning

We celebrate receiving the Torah, and we celebrate the land

Too bad if that makes you uncomfortable

Chag Shavuot Sameach

Pancreatic cancer kills 87% of patients within 5 years almost entirely because we catch it too late. Catching the signature 15+ months earlier on routine CT scans changes that math fundamentally.

The next question is what you treat with at the lead time, since at this stage there's no discrete lesion to remove. The paper itself points to immune-based interception as the therapeutic follow-on. AI finds the signal, the immune system clears the field. That's what the future of oncology is going to look like.

[Mayo Clinic @MayoClinic]

A Mayo Clinic-developed artificial intelligence (AI) model can help specialists detect pancreatic cancer on routine abdominal CT scans up to three years before clinical diagnosis. It identifies subtle signs of disease before tumors are visible, when curative treatment may still be possible. The findings, published in Gut, mark a milestone in Mayo Clinic's multiyear research effort to enable earlier detection of one of the deadliest cancers.

[Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) @MIT]

Detecting cancer in the earliest stages could dramatically reduce cancer deaths because cancers are usually easier to treat when caught early. To help achieve that goal, MIT and Microsoft researchers are using artificial intelligence to design molecular sensors for early detection. https://t.co/PcAqAOonLO
