Shabbat shalom! Happy new year everyone! And welcome back Nathan who is returning home from a Birthright trip to Israel! Tip of the kippah this morning to Kevin McCarthy who survived an insufferable 14 votes before finally figuring out a way to convince the MAGA nuts he is serious about dismantling liberal democracy. This isContinue reading “The Jew News Review – January 7, 2023 – Dog catches car”

Shabbat shalom everyone! And happy Chanukah on this Christmas eve day, and it’s a beautiful one here in sunny Palm Springs where the temps are expected to reach the 80’s! I do feel for all of you on the east coast suffering through the arctic blast bringing freezing cold to most of you, but hey,Continue reading “The Jew News Review – December 24, 2022 – Ring out the old, ring in the new: orange turd flushed, Soros buys tik tok, Twitter goes belly up, and other 2023 predictions!”

Shabbat shalom from sunny Palm Springs! Shout out today to Sir Lindsey Hoyle, Speaker of the House of Commons in the United Kingdom, who called for a moment of silence to mark 80 years since the UK recognized the Holocaust. This historic moment of silence originally occurred December 17, 1942, when then-foreign secretary Anthony EdenContinue reading “The Jew News Review – December 17, 2022 – ChatGPT will not replace me”

Shabbat shalom! Shout out this week to my favorite football star, Kylian Mbappé! And apologies to all my British friends, but I will be cheering for the defending champs in today’s classic matchup which starts at 2pm. Allez les bleu! Allez les Bleus on est derrière vous!  I had intended to start this week’s entry withContinue reading “The Jew News Review – December 10, 2022 – Go Van Gogh”

Shabbat shalom everyone.  It’s a rainy, dreary day here in Sharon, made even more dreary this morning by the USA being knocked out of the World Cup by the Netherlands, who were able to capitalize on defensive lapses by our boys.  One of the things I love about writing this weekly blog is that itContinue reading “The Jew News Review – December 3, 2022 – Silence is complicity”

Shabbat shalom! I hope everyone had a chance to kick back, enjoy some family and football, and are now completely recovered from tryptophan turkey comas and any other side effects induced from over consumption.  I know when I mention football, most of us will immediately think NFL, Mac Jones and what the hell is wrongContinue reading “The Jew News Review – November 26, 2022 – World hic-Cup”

Shabbat shalom! And a happy Thanksgiving week to all my JNR friends! It was Abe Lincoln, historians note, who was the first President to pardon a Thanksgiving turkey, but apparently it was JFK who is credited with the first official White House pardoning. Unfortunately, that pardoned bird lived longer than JFK, who was assassinated 3Continue reading “The Jew News Review – November 19, 2022 – Pardon me”

Shabbat shalom! Yesterday was Veterans Day, so a shout out to all the men and women, and their families, that serve or have served bravely in the defense of our country. The draft for the Vietnam War ended in 1973, the year before I turned 18, but I had already received my draft card andContinue reading “The Jew News Review – November 12, 2022 – “Just once””

Shabbat shalom!  Another gorgeous weekend on tap here in New England, with potentially record breaking temperatures. What we used to call “Indian Summer”, but in the post woke world, perhaps we should say, “Indigenous Peoples Summer”?  “Hoist with his own petard” is what I am thinking, thanks Shakespeare. But why? Political “wokeness” is a slangContinue reading “The Jew News Review – November 5, 2022 – “Alas, poor Israel….””

Shabbat shalom everyone!  It’s a beautiful fall weekend here in leafy New England! Perfect weather for me to jump in my new electric vehicle and head west for the UMass Amherst homecoming and halloween celebrations. Stepping back into Mr Peabody’s wayback machine, I vividly recall the UMass campus turning into one amazing costume party, repleteContinue reading “The Jew News Review – October 29, 2022 – “Madness takes its toll…””
