I love America, Jews, Israel, the NY Giants, the Knicks, Marcus Aurelius, and the Yankees. In that order.

Rabbi Nechemia Schusterman, Chabad rabbi in @CityofPeabodyMA , Massachusetts writes: "Over the past few weeks, a series of deeply disturbing incidents have taken place in our otherwise peaceful community of Peabody, and I feel compelled to share them and ask for the awareness and partnership of both my Jewish and non-Jewish neighbors. Last weekend, my brother-in-law was walking to synagogue when someone in a passing car shouted “Heil Hitler” at him. A few days later, (yesterday and today) during the holiday of Shavuot—a time of joy and unity celebrating the receiving of the Torah—a car drove by and yelled “Free Palestine.” I was then told to “go f*** yourself,” followed by “f***ing Jews,” and then something even more vile—that I should “r*pe my daughters.” I don’t repeat this lightly, but it is important to be honest about what is being said out loud, on our streets, in our town. Today, my 15-year-old son was also targeted—spat at from a passing car and called “dirty Jew.” What was especially disturbing was that it was not just a reckless teenager, but the adult—(the father?) who shouted it over the crouching and squirming teen beside him. These are not isolated incidents. They are happening with increasing frequency, and they are affecting our families and our sense of safety." @MassAGO


“Great locker room guy, he’s a great guy behind the plate, he’s just a competitor… he’s a one-of-a-kind athlete.” Being the first Orthodox Jew to play Division I @NCAABaseball has come with challenges for Elie Kligman, but his teammates and coaches have embraced and supported him every step of the way 💙 At The Plate x @umichbaseball





Lol. Rolling your eyes at the performative philosophy of a member of the most corrupt family in American history is apparently 'fuming'? Although if there was anything to be mad about these days, I think objecting to people lighting the world on fire so they can make a killing in prediction markets and kickbacks is probably it. yahoo.com/entertainment/…

Josh Shapiro is going into deep red territory and winning over people. More democrats should follow his lead.



I am deeply concerned about developments in the Palestinian territories. In my phone call with Prime Minister @netanyahu, I made it clear: There must be no de facto annexation of the West Bank.
