Shabbat shalom! A tip of the kippah this week to a group of leaders, Scott Galloway, Sheryl Sandberg, Sam Harris and Dan Señor, who will use their platforms to keep the hostages and their eventual freedom front and center. According to the Hostages Family Forum, “As the holiday season approaches, we’re confronted by the heartbreakingContinue reading “The Jew News Review – December 21, 2024 – “Bibi, do the deal, then resign!

The Jew News Review – October 18, 2024 – Special Edition – “A great day for the world”
Shabbat Shalom! Yesterday we learned that the great Satan, Yahya Sinwar, was killed by a few Israeli grunts on a routine operation in Rafah. After an IDF infantry drone picked up movement in a building, near to where the six hostages were murdered, gunfire was exchanged and a tank shell lit up the building killingContinue reading “The Jew News Review – October 18, 2024 – Special Edition – “A great day for the world””
The Jew News Review – October 12, 2024 – “One Day”
Shabbat shalom! And G’mar tov (Good seal)! The latter greeting is based on the belief that a person’s fate for the coming year is written on Rosh Hashanah and sealed on Yom Kippur. “G’mar tov” expresses the wish that the person be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life for a good year. ItContinue reading “The Jew News Review – October 12, 2024 – “One Day””
The Jew News Review – September 15, 2024 – “Anniversaries”
Shalom aleichem. Anniversaries are of course celebrated, for among other things, to mark and honor special occasions, personal milestones, and historical events. On the personal front, my wife and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary recently, and I can’t speak for her, but I for one would sign on for 40 more, or at leastContinue reading “The Jew News Review – September 15, 2024 – “Anniversaries””
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””
The Jew News Review – Special Edition – Israel Myth Busting: Proportionality
Shalom! As I mentioned in the last JNR Special Edition, each Wednesday I will feature a portion of Sam Harris’s essay, “5 MYTHS ABOUT ISRAEL AND THE WAR IN GAZA”. Last Wednesday we covered “Genocide”, this week will focus on the myth that International Law requires Israel’s response to be “proportional”. But before we diveContinue reading “The Jew News Review – Special Edition – Israel Myth Busting: Proportionality”
The Jew News Review – July 27, 2024 – “Bye, Bye Biden, hello Kamala Sutra”
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 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 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””
