Shabbat shalom. I watched a lot of CNN yesterday. To hear the details of Israel’s military prowess was at times inspiring, but seeing missiles eluding the iron dome and falling on Tel Aviv was just awful and hard to watch. Israel’s “preemptive” attack on Iran’s nuclear capabilities was a long time coming, but the outcomeContinue reading “The Jew News Review – June 14, 2025 – “The wings of a butterfly””

The Jew News Review – June 7, 2025 – “Gaza Ceasefire Theater: Why “Peace Now” and “not this” could be a suicide pact”
Shabbat shalom! Despite the insane headlines spinning our heads this week like Linda Blair’s in the Exorcist, I am choosing to ignore the national embarrassment of the petulant children in the Presidential playpen as well as the threat of Bibi’s coalition collapsing under the weight of 50,000 IDF draft notices sent this week to eligible Haredim. Instead,Continue reading “The Jew News Review – June 7, 2025 – “Gaza Ceasefire Theater: Why “Peace Now” and “not this” could be a suicide pact””
The Jew News Review – Special Edition – “simply because they were Jews”
On the day of Shavuot, a day to commemorate the delivery by Moses of a book that is foundational to western civilization, a supporter of Hamas used a flame thrower and molotov cocktails to burn Jews, “simply because they were Jews”. The victims had gathered at a Jewish community event in Boulder, Colorado, held inContinue reading “The Jew News Review – Special Edition – “simply because they were Jews””
The Jew News Review – May 31, 2025 – “Are you “living Jewish”? Or just “feeling Jewish”?”
Shabbat shalom! This week’s Tip of the Kippah goes to the management at Marriott Bonvoy in Virginia, who took a principled stand by barring antisemitic conspiracy crank Stew Peters from speaking at an event hosted by the USS Liberty Veterans Association. While others waffle in the face of fringe bigotry disguised as “veteran advocacy,” Marriott chose menschkeitContinue reading “The Jew News Review – May 31, 2025 – “Are you “living Jewish”?

The Jew News Review – May 24, 2025 – “More dead Jews”
Shabbat shalom. What a horrible week. Just when I thought things couldn’t get much worse, here we are. On Wednesday night, two young Israel embassy staffers in Washington, DC were gunned down outside the Capital Jewish Museum by a man shouting, “I did it for Gaza!” Let’s not pretend this is an isolated incident. Let’sContinue reading “The Jew News Review – May 24, 2025 – “More dead Jews””

Shabbat shalom! A tip of the kippah to the new Pope, and a special tip of the kippah to all the Mom’s out there, as we recognize their amazing contributions to our lives, our families, and our culture.

The Jew News Review – May 3, 2025 – “The enemy from within”
Shabbat shalom! As Israel marked its 77th Independence Day, the skies above Jerusalem were choked not with fireworks, but with smoke. Flames swept through more than 5,000 acres of forest and brush land, forcing the cancellation of dozens of celebrations across the country. But it wasn’t just the fires that darkened the mood — it wasContinue reading “The Jew News Review – May 3, 2025 – “The enemy from within””

The Jew News Review – March 29, 2025 – Canada to Trump: “Drop Dead!”
Now that we have been assured by our CIA Chief that the US Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, was not drunk when he released classified Houthi attack plans to anyone that cared to listen, we can move on from the Whiskey Leaks scandal with the consoling fact that the imbecile was actually sober when he putContinue reading “The Jew News Review – March 29, 2025 – Canada to Trump: “Drop Dead!””
