“At a time when our cathedrals of higher education, especially the most elite, have devolved into bastions of anti-American and anti-Israel fueled confusion, yeshiva education stands in sharp relief.”

Telling Its Own Story: @KnowUs_ Billboard Campaign Celebrates Jewish Education

It is high time that New York, the state home to more Jews than other state in the country, joined the majority of states and countless countries, entities, and government agencies that have already embraced this definition of antisemitism.

Harvard Should Have Combated Antisemitism as Vehemently as It Now Wars With the Feds

Pro-Hamas protestors storm an Agudah event at the DNC intended, in part, to bring awareness to the growing antisemitism against Orthodox Jews in America. Security called in. Jews present are harassed and intimidated, because...Jews.
The irony is breathtaking.

NYPD reports 30 antisemitic incidents last month, a 200% increase over the same period last year, and, as usual, more than all hate crimes against all other groups combined

"Our country, and the minds of its future leaders, deserve an education that teaches nobility in addition to resumé utility. We need to unmask the hate by inculcating reason and respect over victimhood and violence. If there’s a school system that has been failing its students on what matters most, it isn’t yeshivas."
Must-read opinion column by Avrohom Weinstock describing education in a post Oct 7th world in the Washington Times.

My timeline shows numerous videos of American flags being mistreated and even burned by Hamas supporters on college campuses.
Contrast those scenes with the billboard I saw on a highway today in Queens, NY.
Patriotism is one of the many values found in a Yeshiva education. 🇺🇸
In 2012, over 40,000 Orthodox Jews gathered in Citi Field to sound the alarm on the potential dangers of the new technology. They were ridiculed. Now, in 2024, the world is waking up to technology's disastrous results.

“While some may wish to put aside the tension and despondency of world events for a weekend that is supposed to be about celebration, many have committed extra prayer and good deeds this Purim…as a merit for the release of the hostages."

Avrohom Weinstock spoke to @NY1 about the impact the war in Gaza will have on Purim.

The Orthodox Jewish community in America has so much to be proud of and so much to be thankful for.
Follow knowus.org to get the story on Orthodox Jewry that you won't find in other media outlets.
New Yorkers may have noticed giant new billboards all over NYC. What is the state of education today? What values are we imparting?
KnowUs, an initiative of @AgudahNews, sent a 7-page letter to @JeffBezos, demonstrating how numerous hateful, pro-Palestinian merchandise sold on its platform violate Amazon’s seller policies. Amongst Agudah’s many fronts assisting and defending Israel in this pivotal moment must be the firm statement that while there will always be evil in this world, terrorism and Jew-hatred can never become socially acceptable. Not on college campuses. Not on the streets. And not by the largest online retailer in the world. agudah.org/dear-amazon-stop-…

If she's writing about it, it means few are covering it, the issue is important, and an incisive piece about it is at your disposal.
Miss a @slowhoneybee piece at your own peril.
Families that like educating their children outside the public school system should be paying attention to what’s been happening with Hasidic yeshivas in New York. My latest nationalreview.com/2023/09/n…

“Yeshiva parents know they face hostile forces, eager to overhaul their way of life. But other Americans with unfashionable values should consider this campaign against yeshivas a warning.”

I’m back with a third article on New York’s Hasidic yeshivas. This time I looked at what happens when education bureaucrats are empowered to judge religious schools. nationalreview.com/2023/09/n…

The people responsible for pandemic-related school closures and learning loss in NYC are also judging the education at NYC’s Hasidic yeshivas. My latest on the problems with those evaluations—nationalreview.com/2023/09/n…
