The Jew News Review – November 16, 2024 – “A reckless pick by a feckless prick”

Shabbat shalom!

The Jew News Review – Special Edition – “The Message and the media”

Shalom. It was in my George Orwell class in college many years ago that my favorite professor, Howard Ziff, challenged the class with this quote about journalism, whose source is not known to me: “The role of the journalist is to broadcast the truth, and at the same time, destroy the ability to perceive.” ThatContinue reading “The Jew News Review – Special Edition – “The Message and the media””

Shalom aleichem.  Anniversaries are of course celebrated, for among other things, to mark and honor special occasions, personal milestones, and historical events.

The Jew News Review – September 7, 2024 – “A blow upon a bruise”

Shabbat shalom.  While vacationing on Cape Cod, I managed to avoid a lot of the miserable news cycle, but since returning, I have started to catch up and it’s not pretty. Since my last posting, Israeli’s have been tormented with the burial and mourning for the six hostages that were brutally murdered by their psychopathicContinue reading “The Jew News Review – September 7, 2024 – “A blow upon a bruise””

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!
