Shabbat shalom! And a tip of the kippah this week to President Biden, who made a great personal sacrifice by putting the country before politics. More on that later, but what a week! The news keeps coming hard and fast, as though the whole world is on some kind of cocaine binge and doing aContinue reading “The Jew News Review – July 27, 2024 – “Bye, Bye Biden, hello Kamala Sutra””

The Jew News Review – Special Edition – “Israel Myth Busting”
Shabbat shalom! I recently was part of a family text chain that somehow veered off into Israeli politics. I am not a fan of text chains in general and usually avoid attempting to communicate anything serious on a platform usually reserved for confirming logistics around grand children or posting silly birthday or fantasy sports memes,Continue reading “The Jew News Review – Special Edition – “Israel Myth Busting””
The Jew News Review – July 20, 2024 – “The boiling frog of Democracy”
Shabbat shalom! Given the continuous gut punches we sustain from the daily news cycle, especially this week, I want to start with a tip of the kippah to The Jerusalem Youth Chorus, who appeared on America’s Got Talent with an inspiring performance of “Home”, by Phillip Phillips. Despite the violence surrounding them, this group ofContinue reading “The Jew News Review – July 20, 2024 – “The boiling frog of Democracy””
The Jew News Review – July 13, 2024 – “Dog days, baseball, and eccentric British politicians”
Shabbat shalom! This heatwave is making me more than a bit irascible, and the news here in the Jew S of A, doesn’t help my temperament much either. To avoid inducing any further anxiety, and to keep my optimistic wits about me while I watch a perfect political storm potentially demolish our democracy, I haveContinue reading “The Jew News Review – July 13, 2024 – “Dog days, baseball, and eccentric British politicians””
The Jew News Review – June 29, 2024 – “Drumbeats from the north”
Shabbat shalom! I will refrain from piling on any further with any post-mortem analysis of the not so great debate. Over the next several days we should see a tremendous amount of pressure from Democratic operatives, columnists, media, influencers, etc to do what the New York Times already did: recommend that Biden withdraw from theContinue reading “The Jew News Review – June 29, 2024 – “Drumbeats from the north””
The Jew News Review – Special Debate Issue
Pa-thet-ic 1. Adjective: Arousing pity, especially through vulnerability or sadness My father was an avid and passionate Boston sports fan, but a most temperamental one. He would often literally shut off a playoff game if the Boston home town team were playing poorly, even if it was very early in the game. “Dad, what areContinue reading “The Jew News Review – Special Debate Issue”
The Jew News Review – June 22, 2024 – “Supreme heat”
Shabbat shalom! Much of the nation is sweating under a heat dome that sits stubbornly over a wide swath of the country.

According to the Every TownContinue reading “The Jew News Review – June 22, 2024 – “Supreme heat””
The Jew News Review – June 15, 2024 – “The case for optimism”
Shabbat shalom! And a shout out to all the Dad’s out there.

The Jew News Review – June 8, 2024 – “People of the Book”
Shabbat shalom! Tip of the kippah this morning to the IDF, after this morning’s news that they have rescued four hostages from central Gaza.

The Jew News Review – June 1, 2024 – “What goes around, comes around”
Shabbat shalom! And a big tip of the kippah this week to the 12 jurors who literally have risked their lives by delivering a guilty verdict on the orange turd’s attempt to buy off a porn star in pursuit of the 2016 election.
