A pleasure to join @LisaNiver on her podcast during my recent trip to @IrelandinLA.
We discussed Ireland’s work on the Security Council in advancing the rights of women globally, forward-looking at US-Ireland shared cultural heritage, and, of course, my love of Co.Louth. https://t.co/mnGqpd9rvV

This week the IRS announced it would no longer apply the Johnson Amendment to houses of worship. This means that synagogues and churches are entitled to endorse candidates for office.
If patriotism and Judeo-Christian values are virtuous, then how do we explain the proliferation of those on the political right who are in concert with those on the political left when it comes to Jews and global conspiracies?
The lesson of Mamdani’s victory is not just that dangerous ideologies can win elections — but that they can win them with Jewish help. That makes them even more dangerous.
Jew-hatred is terrible regardless of where it comes from. But not all Jew-hatred is created equal. Depending on where you sit politically, some Jews can be more hated than others.
The more noise we make about Jew-hatred, the more Jew-hatred seems to increase. Is all that noise spreading the very poison it is fighting? Is it time to introduce a radically new idea that will associate Jews not with hate but with love?
The film, built on a witty and well-paced script by Robbins and co-writer Zack Weiner, invites us to what is well set to be a disastrous Shabbat dinner.
Currently, there are an estimated 600-800 Jews living in Cuba, most of whom are based in Havana, though there are small Jewish communities in Cuban cities Santa Clara and Cienfuegos.
