@ElishaYered may even in the darkest places. may he go from strength to strength

עולם הפוך ראיתי. לפני 4 שנים, מעט אחרי שומר החומות, התפרעו מאות ערבים בשכונת שמעון הצדיק וניסו לשרוף בתי משפחות יהודיות. המשטרה הייתה בפשיטת רגל מוחלטת, ובני נוער מכל רחבי הארץ נקראו בדחיפות על ידי משפחות השכונה לשמור על המקום. אחד מהם היה איתמר אלקובי שהותקף בידי המון ערבי, חטף סלע מטווח אפס לפניו ופונה במצב קשה לבית החולים. חברו אימרי הופמן ואזרחים נוספים חשו לעזרתו, חילצו אותו לאחור והצליחו להדוף את הפורעים ולהציל את השכונה. באופן בלתי נתפס, עצרה המחלקה היהודית בשב"כ כעבור כמה שבועות את אימרי בחשד לתקיפה בעצמו(!). בבית המשפט גזרו עליו השופטים עונש של עבודות שירות אך הפרקליטות המרושעת ערערה לבית המשפט העליון, ששלח אותו ללא פחות מ18 חודשי מאסר. הבוקר הוא נכנס לכלא. בראש מורם, מוקף במשפחתו וחבריו שנפרדו ממנו בשירי נשמה. הוא יהיה חזק, אל דאגה. בכלא בעז"ה הוא עוד יגמור את הש"ס ויצא במהרה לחופשי. מאסרו יישאר אות קלון בל יימחה על רשויות המדינה.

@Scott_Wiener amazing that with two extra eyes you still cant see the truth no oct 7. no destruction in gaza ( see how that works )

For years, I’ve condemned Netanyahu and his extremist government and the devastation they’ve inflicted on Gaza. It’s why I’ve been clear I won’t support U.S. funding for the destruction of Palestinian communities. I’ve stopped short of calling it genocide, but I can’t anymore.

@elizabethpipko we are in trouble. the canary in coal mine effect

This is my synagogue. My family has proudly belonged to Park East Synagogue since their arrival in America in the 1970s (ironically fleeing from antisemitism and scenes just like this). It’s also important to note that the entrance being protested in front of here is Park East Day School. Not only is Park East an amazing place where I spent most of my childhood, but it is where children as young as 2 and 3 years old are going to walk in tomorrow morning, to get a Jewish education. A place they should be allowed to feel safe. My heart breaks for NYC and what it is becoming.

Our 23rd grandchild, a beautiful girl, was born yesterday in Tel Aviv to our son Oren Michael and our daughter in law Einav. Her name: Kinneret Elinor and here she is:

@thewebbie great read thanks for sharing ( we are the same age ) most of us in the galut were taught a watered down non deep dry perspective. amazing you are re learning it all now my journey took me back a couple years before you but similar welcome

The Inadequacy of My Reformed Jewish Education I grew up thinking I was getting a “Jewish education.” Hebrew school twice a week, holiday programs, Bar Mitzvah prep. But in reality, what I received was a watered-down version of Judaism, all the rituals — but not really — and none of the meaning. I learned how to read Hebrew letters, but not to understand the words. It was memorization without context. Zero literacy in the Hebrew language. Everything was watered down. The Messiah was minimized, the rebuilding of the Temple never mentioned, and most holidays ignored. We only learned the “big five,” stripped of depth and meaning. The first time I ever put on tefillin was not at my Bar Mitzvah, it was at 51 years old, in Israel. That’s how much was missing. Even the prayer books were altered, stripped of their majesty. G-d was no longer “King of the Universe” but reduced to a gender-neutral “O Lord.” And Israel? Avoided entirely. No discussion of modern Israel, its history, its challenges, or its central place in Jewish identity. It left me unprepared. Unprepared to face the depth of our history. Unprepared to understand Zionism as more than a political slogan. Unprepared to answer the tidal wave of antisemitism and antizionism that has now become part of daily life. I don’t blame my parents (some of you think I should). They gave me what was available. But what was available was designed to keep things “easy” and “accessible” rather than challenging us to wrestle with the weight of our tradition. It was Judaism without backbone. Now, in my 50s, I find myself doing the hard work that should have been done decades ago. Studying. Listening. Wrestling. Relearning what should have been mine as a child. And it is hard. Learning in middle age what should have been the foundation of my identity feels like trying to learn the language of my own soul years too late. So I avoided Judaism for most of my adult life. I married Jewish (which was a miracle), but we were mostly secular. Still, we worked hard to give our children a strong Jewish identity, even if it was without the depth of religion. I regret this now. I regret not giving them the richness and grounding that I myself had been denied. They inherited my gaps, and that weighs on me. This is the painful legacy of an inadequate Jewish education: a generation left vulnerable, searching for the strength we should have been given from the start. But I also believe it’s never too late. The Torah doesn’t expire. Our connection to Israel doesn’t fade. And our covenant doesn’t weaken just because we were under-taught. I’m still building, still learning, still unlearning. And maybe that’s part of what being a Jew has always meant: the struggle itself is holy. And don’t get me started on how broken the synagogue system is in America. Too many synagogues function like country clubs with dues, politics, and shallow programming, rather than spiritual homes that challenge, inspire, and educate. Instead of being fortresses of Jewish strength, too often they feel like fragile social halls, afraid of depth, afraid of demands, afraid of truth. That brokenness is why so many of us were left unprepared and why we must do better now. (Yes, In 2024 I re-created a photo of my grandparents from 1974. 50 years apart)

Israel’s Defense Minister visited the Rebbe's Ohel in Queens, NY last night. In the midst of the ongoing war and at the conclusion of a significant diplomatic visit to the United States, Israeli Defense Minister Mr. Israel Katz visited the Rebbe’s Ohel on Motzei Shabbos. Minister Katz offered heartfelt prayers for the success of the Jewish people and IDF soldiers in the ongoing war, as well as for the safe return of the hostages.

@HenMazzig not trying to be snide. but is there a deal to release all 50 hostages ?

Tens of thousands of Israelis are protesting in Tel Aviv, calling to end the war and bring all 50 hostages home. No more funerals for hostages who could've been saved. No more torment for their families left waiting. We must save every last hostage. They're running out of time.
