May the story you share be a reminder that through our fears and uncertainty, alongside the bitterness we experience, redemption awaits. Denouncing my invitation, anti-Zionists smashed over 25 plate-glass windows in two nights of vandalism. Their graffiti proclaimed: “Stop your Zionist war propaganda” and “stop zios.” I just returned from B’nei Mitzvah in Chicago … War broke out in the middle of the festivities The director of security at Temple Israel was injured in the attack, the Reform congregation said. Crazy as it might sound, it all started with the Dodgers, and how they won back-to- back World Series in 2024 and 2025. That year, with those two championships on either end, is the exact same year l became a practicing Jew. And I don’t think that’s a coincidence. In 1973, he founded Synagogue for the Performing Arts, drawing the likes of Walter Matthau, Ed Asner and Joan Rivers. From Los Angeles to Thailand, Israelis are sitting anxiously, waiting for a notice from El Al or other airlines, hoping for a chance to board a flight back to Israel. We are delivering hands-on learning and building resilience for a generation growing up under conflict in a region that lacks a dedicated children’s museum. We made this recipe Passover-friendly because who doesn’t need an easy one-skillet dish that is healthy and delicious!?! March 14, or 3/14 is Pi Day in celebration of the mathematical constant, 3.14159 etc. Any excuse to enjoy a classic or creative pie. Crazy as it might sound, it all started with the Dodgers, and how they won back-to-back World Series in 2024 and 2025. American malaise involves gloomy thoughts about spiking gas prices, or depressing flashbacks to previous wars where days stretched into decades. Israeli malaise is accompanied by gloomy thoughts about the Americans. Canines’ renowned loyalty was a natural representation of the “loyal transmission of the divine mandate from generation to generation.” Even those self-described human rights groups that are strongly biased in favor of the Palestinian Arab cause acknowledge the PA’s systemic mistreatment of women. Jews today do have a voice. For the moment. But we have not used it where it counts – in the mainstream media, the halls of power, on campuses, on school boards, in the public square. After years of terrorizing Israelis with existential threats, the Islamic regime is now worried about its own existence. In a region where the projection of power is everything, that is humiliation. |
