@AmitSegal 4. The reality was the Altadena, whose painful fault line is so brilliantly told in Amit’s incredible, insightful, writing. I will listen and read everything this man says - on Call me Back, in his books, and his daily It’s Noon in Israel. Kol Ha Kavod Amit. Yasher Koach!!!
@AmitSegal 3. beginning to go to my conservative shul on Shabbat, study Tanya with the local Chabad Rabbi and occasionally even lay tefillin. The Zionist dream of the pioneers that I was raised on may have been a mirage, propaganda taught to us….
@AmitSegal 2. It’s painful to this New Jersey diaspora Jew, who still dreams the Zionist dream of the pioneers of the Palmach, of the hero’s of ‘48 and ‘67. But I’m also a conservative Jew who was a militant secular Zionist as a teenager and now in middle age …
@AmitSegal 1. The most absolutely brilliant summation, that must be read and debated in the hearts of every Jew who looks to Israel as our heart, and Zionism as our salvation in the antisemitic diaspora. And painful to listen to, while being totally captivating.
@OyVeyPope Basically describes me exactly. I’m a cardiologist, dedicated my life to medicine, saving lives. I grew up and am active in a conservative Jewish synagogue. I feel strongly Zionist. I never saw antisemitism growing up in Brooklyn. But now I’m fighting back.
Re #BariWeiss I call balls and strikes - 60 minutes is a strike. But Her resignation letter from the #NYT is a home run- What she created at The Free Press is a home-run - sometimes controversial but hard to label as left or right. The CBS job is a no-win no matter what she does.
@haivri Proud #Zionist - #Zionism is a force for good in history. A strong #Israel is not only necessary for the survival of all Jews, it is in our hearts, our daily prayers, our liturgy, “Next year in Jerusalem” ends our Seders Our ongoing struggle for freedom and self determination🇮🇱❤️
I know this sounds crazy but could #Obicetrapib prevent #Alzheimer in #apoE4 carriers? ApoA1 is small enough to cross the BBB. So I did a search. It’s already being studied!!! Of course. This carries hope especially for apoE 4/4 carriers. @NewAmsPharma

There was a research study a few years back, I believe out of Mt Sinai, that the restriction of blood flow from wrapping #Tefillin tightly has #cardiovascular benefits, a form of #Hormesis probably.
