Book recommendation;
If you're looking for a Passover hagaddah to bring you depth and uplift, while being very accessible, I highly recommend From Bondage to Freedom from Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski
As the sun slowly starts to set in the west here in Clear Lake City, Texas, I want to wish everyone a good Shabbos! My wife took this photo in Seabrook, Texas.
David Miller will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today accused of posting antisemitic messages on X; meanwhile, yesterday he posted a long screed about a Jewish conspiracy to control the world ⬇️. He's either stupid, mentally unhinged or both.
🧵Hamas admits AGAIN: Qassam fighter Mishaal Shahwan posed as a “journalist” one of dozens now admitted by Hamas & PIJ. When Israel said terrorists were posing as press no one believed it—but evidence from Hamas, NOT Israel, is now overwhelming. ELEVEN recent examples below. 1/
Sephardic Jews founded Kahal Zur Israel in Recife in 1636, the first organized synagogue in the Americas. Under Dutch rule (1630–1654), they enjoyed rare religious freedom and played a key role in Brazil’s booming sugar trade as merchants and finaciers.
Temple Albert, New Mexico's largest synagogue, was attacked last night, along with the nearby JCC.
Nobody was hurt, and the suspect is in custody. Federal law enforcement is involved.
There is no news coverage; not local, not national. Zero. Zilch.
It’s becoming clear that over the past month or two, my account has either been shadow banned or heavily demoted by X’s algorithm. Engagement has collapsed by 90%+.
I don’t monetize this account, I don’t care about engagement hacks, and I sure as hell ain’t paying for a blue check.
If this post finds its way onto your timeline, let me know you can still see me.
Hi Zack, I'm a British-born Israeli who was stabbed 18 times by a Palestinian terrorist. Another chopped up my friend in front of my eyes. One got out in the hostage deal. They were paid a salary for years by the UK gov.
Could you tweet: "all of this is a horrific crime. He should be held to account."
Thanks
“14,000 babies will die in 48 hours.”
That claim didn’t come from a random account online. It came from the United Nations, and major media outlets ran with it.
The problem? It wasn't true.

Such a rapid turnaround hasn’t been seen for a long time:
At the beginning of the week, Slovenia prevented an Israeli plane from landing in its territory.
Yesterday, a new right‑wing government was sworn in.
And this evening, Foreign Minister Saar already announced the opening of an embassy in the country.
Horrific:
Nirel Zini (left) was beheaded in the October 7 Massacre.
He was buried without a head.
His family just found part of a human skull in Kfar Aza, nearly three years later.
It has been sent to forensics for testing.

This woman survived Auschwitz and came to Israel on a ragged boat not knowing what the future will hold.
Today she is celebrating her 100th birthday with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
Happy birthday Savta Mina!
Just concluded what may have been the hottest event of New York Tech Week.
Over 150 young Jews in tech and finance came together for an evening of mitzvahs, meaningful conversations, and Jewish pride.
Hosted at Vine Ventures, with special thanks to @danpovitsky, @Mottel, and @ericmreiner for helping make it happen.
Founders, investors, operators, and builders from some of the world’s leading companies gathered around one table to connect, strengthen their Jewish identity, enjoy authentic kosher New York food, and celebrate what unites us.
It was a truly beautiful evening. Looking forward to the next one on the 17th.
