Please Be Advised
For your safety, synagogue services for this Shabbat have been canceled. As you may know, your congregation has been targeted because it recites Zionist prayers for the welfare of Israel and the success of its army. Since we are...

Unity on the skids?
They’re back. The protestors who block my mother’s street every Saturday night (her building sits opposite the President’s residence), chanting and hollering, have returned. Bring down Bibi; end the war; free the hostages – the messages are more diffuse than...
