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 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 – 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. Maybe the oppressive heat had something to do with the latest mass shooting in Arkansas, but probably not. We live in a country of gun culture gone wild. 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. I miss my old man, but think of him often and wish he could be here to enjoy the new generation of Hirsh Govermans, many of them sporting some shade of his amazing blue eyes. If you are someone like me who watchesContinue reading “The Jew News Review – June 15, 2024 – “The case for optimism””
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. We may actually find out how the orange turd will look inContinue reading “The Jew News Review – June 1, 2024 – “What goes around, comes around””
The Jew News Review – May 25, 2024 – “Avalanche”
Shabbat shalom! A tip of the kippah on this Memorial Day weekend to the men and women who have served our country with honor, protecting our democracy, our freedoms and our way of life, many who in doing so, have made the ultimate sacrifice. Early in 1945, fifty Navy chaplains hit the beach of IwoContinue reading “The Jew News Review – May 25, 2024 – “Avalanche””
The Jew News Review – May 18, 2024 – “World Happiness”
Shabbat shalom! Holy shit batman, what a week! Last night my son Michael and I sat high above rink side at the TD Garden to cheer on the Boston Bruins in their attempt to stay alive in the NHL playoffs. Despite their best efforts, and the tremendous support of a rabid fan-base, their quest forContinue reading “The Jew News Review – May 18, 2024 – “World Happiness””
The Jew News Review – May 11, 2024 – “What would your mother think?”
Shabbat shalom! A tip of the kippah this week to all the mothers out there, especially my own, who at 93 years young, is still going strong and who I consider to be the matriarch of the JNR! Mothers have always been held in high regard within our crazy culture, almost always considered paragons ofContinue reading “The Jew News Review – May 11, 2024 – “What would your mother think?””
The Jew News Review – May 4, 2024 – “The intifada will be catered”
Shabbat shalom! In the midst of all the campus chaos and 24/7 reminders that everyone hates the Jews, we had a most pleasurable distraction in attending our grandson Max’s shabbat service at his school within Temple Sinai. “L’Dor v’dor” as they say, and a very welcome way to balance out the bad Jew news withContinue reading “The Jew News Review – May 4, 2024 – “The intifada will be catered””
