@da_winter I have many fond memories from my 3+ years in Great Neck!

@da_winter Hi! Technically, I wasn't an intern. I was the Program Director, but part of the clergy rotation for the High Holy Days. The Chesterton quote I referenced was "Virtue is not the absence of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate thing..."

Stop going to synagogue and start going to Chabad. Your soul will thank you later.

@CollinRugg This is all a bit rich, coming from the founder and operator of Trump University

Trump's plan to dismantle the U.S. indoctrination system (college) by seizing funds from schools that refuse to comply with his accreditation system. 1. "Our secret weapon will be the college accreditation system." 2. "Fire the radical left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics." 3. "We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again." "These standards will include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, and eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs." 4. "Remove all Marxist diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated at low-cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning and getting their money's worth." 5. "Direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination." 6. "Schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowments taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment." 7. "The seized funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies."

@JenSeniorNY Me too - and it took me until the 6th try to get it!

The volume of past-election analyses is so overwhelming today that I think all I can manage is Wordle.

Yes, Rav Moshe Feinstein said you should go #vote. And you know what else he said is obligatory? Going to minyan. Let's make sure to publicize that as well 😃

@ninapaley It went basically as you'd think it went

I didn't watch last night's debate. I have seen no clips. Dare I ask...how did it go? Did anything notable happen?

@pithywidow Imagine trying to support JD Vance in his effort to be elected as Donald Trump's Vice President.

Imagine being as pedigreed and accomplished as this lady and using it all to try to gaslight America

@MarcusBlimi This fellow seems like a real winner: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Ogles

How odd

@snartkety @RalphNader Nader received more than 90,000 votes IN FLORIDA. Gore lost Florida by a few hundred votes. This is not difficult math.

The six Supreme Court dictators have issued an opinion that “the king can do no wrong.” They have given absolute immunity to presidents to use the Insurrection Act and the vague national emergency and national security declarations to suppress citizen protests and their political opponents.

@lyzl It's not a dinner table, its a General Assembly. Parents get a veto in the Security Council.

@ElishevaAvital Maybe he just really takes the Chacham Tzvi seriously

a fun thing about orthodox judaism that most outsiders probably have no idea about is that holidays outside of israel are always one day longer. netanyahu seems to have forgotten this.

@pithywidow Jared already won. Game's long over.

Dime store Succession knockoff

@pithywidow and not even necessarily the ones Trump appointed!

Anyway I don’t think we have sufficiently grappled with the fact Trump may well have been right that SCOTUS was in the bag for him

@GeniusYidden I know. I was thinking of this too:

I was expecting a kugel fountain to look different

@JenSeniorNY Nothing worse than activist asparagus

Another controversial form of maximalism

@MarcusBlimi Their loss

Thanks for nothing, all of you
