Like many of you, I’ve been watching with interest as this influencer, Clavicular, has made a tour of Israel after previously being a public antisemite, and he has really been seeing a lot of the positive aspects of the country. Unfortunately, his visit took a detour—some would say a wrong turn—when he refused to apologize…

I wanted to follow up on my note about the recent decision to host a certain speaker in our synagogue. She framed abortion rights, unqualified, as an absolute form of justice. Regardless of feminist theory, I thought it was wrong Jewishly and an inappropriate use of the Bimah. Yet I still strongly support feminism, incorporate…

Influencer “Clavicular” won’t apologize to Israeli news anchor Bar Shem-Ur for singing along to “Heil Hitler” and instead asks the Jewish journalist in the Jewish country to apologize!

The speaker, who was neither a rabbi nor an authority on Judaism, used religious terminology merely as a pretext for an ideology framed in the language…

July 10, 2026: “SEN. GRAHAM: We’ve reached an agreement with the White House on a version of the Russian sanctions bill that they will support. It means it’s going to become law. So, when I get back to Washington, I’m going to go with Senator Blumenthal to the Republican and Democratic leaders to see if…

In the span of just three weeks this summer, we have witnessed a sequence of events so sharp and sudden that it feels like watching history fold in on itself. For many of us, the timing is impossible to ignore—a narrative that points directly to a higher hand guiding the fate of leaders and nations.…

In a dangerous world like ours, you want to have a friend who will tell you when you’re in mortal danger. And Israel told President Trump that he was in real mortal danger. So what we saw over the past few days with the president telling us that information was not a PSYOP, that was…
