1/3 Resigning, a Hanukkah Message: As of today I have resigned from the antisemitism advisory committee at Harvard. Without rehashing all of the obvious reasons that have been endlessly adumbrated online, and with great respect for the members of the committee, the short explanation is that both events on campus and the painfully inadequate testimony reinforced the idea that I cannot make the sort of difference I had hoped. Still, there are several points worth making. I believe Claudine Gay to be both a kind and thoughtful person. Most of the students here wish only to get an education and a job, not prosecute ideological agendas, and there are many, many honorable, thoughtful and good people at the institution. Harvard is still a repository of extraordinary minds and important research. – at Newton, MA

Taylor Swift's personal bodyguard just left to Israel to join his unit!
And before anyone makes a joke about how “another guy left Taylor Swift, so it must be time for her to write a song about it,” this guy is the man.
He just left his $500,000/year job and cushy lifestyle to return to Israel and join his unit as they prepare to fight the evil of Hamas!
Kol ha’kavod!

Kobe was so much more than an athlete, he was a family man. That was what we had most in common. I would hug his children like they were my own and he would embrace my kids like they were his. His baby girl Gigi was born on the same day as my youngest daughter Me’Arah.

He was such an icon but also did so much for LA. He was passionate about serving the homeless and was an advocate for women's basketball. Coaching his daughter’s basketball team brought him so much happiness.

“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the
oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.” - Elie Wiesel

2 / Nevertheless @realDonaldTrump issued an absurd, insensitive & opportunistic statement by suggesting synagogue security could have averted the disaster instead of gun control when police officers were shot on the scene.
Jessi Berrin retweeted
1 / Regarding the tragic synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh and the rush to politicize it, please remember that synagogues, Jewish centers and Jewish people have been targeted and attacked routinely throughout history. Antisemitism is not a phenomenon of the Trump era.

Just interviewed a Darfurian refugee in Israel who was 14 and living in Egypt when he saw an Israeli professor discussing Jewish history and the Holocaust on TV. He immediately decided he would go to Israel, because what country would better understand him? #rememberwhoweare
