Badass Jews

Harold Rebelo wrote about yeshiva kids pausing their Talmudic studies to listen to the Ross-McLarnin fights. McLarnin, aka the Hebrew Scourge, made it extra meaningful for the Jewish community! #badassjews

@ProfDBernstein LaGuardia was however a Jew and…wait for it…a huge Zionist! Does this mean Mamdani is going down that road too?

Mamdani says that NYC mayor LaGuardia was a socialist. False. There were prominent socialist candidates for mayor in New York, but LaGuardia was a Republican, so not even close.

World champion Barney Ross used his platform to speak openly about addiction and recovery. His willingness to share his story, even the shameful parts, was driven by a desire to help others avoid the same path. badassjews.com. #BadassJews #Recovery #Inspiration #boxing

Badass Jew Barney Ross, a world champion boxer and war hero, later became an activist. It's better to start with boxing, then become a war hero, and finally an activist. #boxing #activism #badassjews

Barney Ross's legendary resilience in the ring became a symbol: that Jewish people "would not only fight back" but would endure. An incredible legacy of grit and defiance. Hear his story at badassjews.com #boxing #JewishHistory

In 1926, the KKK’s presence was staggering—estimates soared as high as 4 million. A stark reminder of a not-so-distant past and the hate that fueled it. Were the white robes really on fire? #KKKHistory #HiddenFigures

Imagine Nazi summer camps in Long Island? In the 30s, American Nazis rose in popularity, but Joseph Greenstein wasn't having it. He literally fought back. "He'd go down and beat the crap out of them." #history #resistance #badassjews

Amid global turmoil, the strength of Jewish identity shines. It's more than religion—it's a shared culture and a collective weight felt deeply. Now, more than ever, their voices matter. #JewishCulture #NeverAgain #JewishCulture #NeverAgain

Happy Birthday to former Flyweight World Champion Newsboy Brown. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2012. He passed away in 1977 at the age of 71. 🥊

Joseph Greenstein was practicing strongman feats with his TEETH. One day his wife walked in on him lifting the kitchen table with his mouth. The reason? He was getting teeth marks in it. #storytime #feats #strongman #badassjews

Joseph Greenstein, shot point-blank, walks away asking for a Band-Aid. But what's more shocking? The mercy he showed the shooter. Some people are just built different. #Heroism #TrueStory #Heroism #TrueStory

OG Boxer Samuel Elias AKA Dutch Sam AKA "The Terrible Jew" trained on 3 glasses of gin 3 times a day, often fought inebriated, and still found time to invent the uppercut. Definitely an OG #badassjew

Joseph’s life was a story of survival, strength, and resilience. From dirt-poor beginnings to a legend, his life culminated in his final performance at age 83. Joseph Greenstein, "The Mighty Atom," passed away in 1977, leaving a legacy of extraordinary strength and spirit. 11/11

The Mighty Atom #BadassJew could bend steel bars with his bare hads, pull cars with his hair, bite nails in half and once stopped a bullet with his forehead. And he loved punching N*zis-this is his story badassjews.com Thread:
